25 Years of Indian Remote Sensing Programme

Started with the pioneering experiment of detecting Coconut Root Wilt Disease using Color Infrared Film in 1970s by Prof. P. R. Pisharoty.

Bhaskara-I (1979) and Bhaskara-II (1981) – Experimental Remote Sensing Satellites provided the foundation for the operational Indian Remote Sensing Programme.

Nov 20, 1981

SARAL: Satellite with Argos and Altimeter

Altika Payload: Built by CNES

• Ka-band (35.75 GHz, BW 500 MHz) radar altimeter

• Dual-frequency microwave radiometer (23.8 & 37 GHz)

• DORIS & Laser Retro-reflector Array

• Repeat Cycle: 35 days

Launch: Feb 25, 2013Launcher – PSLV C-20, SHAR, India

- Joint Indo-French satellite mission for oceanographic studies

ARGOS Data Collection System: • Built by CNES

• Contributes to development and operational implementation of global ARGOS DCS.

• Collect a variety of data from ocean buoys to transmit the same to the ARGOS Ground Segment for subsequent processing and distribution.

Besides SARAL, PSLV-C20 launched six auxiliary payloads from Canada, Austria, Denmark and UK

Altika/SARAL mission belongs to global altimetry system for precise and accurate observations of ocean topography, circulation & sea surface monitoring

SARAL/AltiKA SSHA observation overpass over Indian Ocean on Feb 28, 2013 and SLA from POM model at 0.5 degree resolution.
