Sensor:
The IRS-1A satellite is the first operational remote sensing satellite of India. Launched in the late 1980s from the Baikanur Cosmodrome in Kasakhstan, this sun-synchronous satellite consists of three pushbroom cameras. The LISS-1 camera output 72.5m resolution and the LISS-2A and 2B cameras output imager at 36.25m resolution. The IRS-1B satellite, launched in 1991, contains improved features in comparison to its predecessor, IRS-1A. The improvements contain features such as gyro-referencing for improved orientation sensing; improved flexibility in camera operation and line count information for improved product generation. The IRS-1C satellite is India’s second generation remote sensing satellite. Its revisit time is approximately every 24 days. One of the major improvements to the IRS-1C satellite is its spatial resolution, as well as the addition of a spectral band. IRS-1C is composed of three solid state pushbroom cameras: PAN, which boasts 6m resolution, LISS-3 with 23.6m resolution; and WiFS with 189m resolution. This satellite was launched in 1995 and store up to 62GB of data onboard. The IRS-1D satellite was launched in 1997 and contains improvements over the IRS-1C; it is still considered part of the second generation of IRS satellites. Its power is generated by approximately 10m2 of solar panels. It contains three solid state pushbroom cameras: PAN, with 6m resolution, LISS-3 at 23.6m resolution, and WiFS (WideField Sensor) with 189m resolution. Although the capabilities of IRS-1D are similar to IRS-1C in terms of spatial resolution, spectral bands, stereoscopic imaging and revisit capability, the improvements in the IRS-1D satellite have resulted in images of much higher quality. ***The IRS-1A, 1B, 1C and 1D sensors are supported by the Satellite Ortho Suite in the Geomatica OrthoEngine Modules.
