Satellites
Published in Mohammad Razani, Commercial Space Technologies and Applications, 2018
As of February 2016 the status of India’s remote-sensing satellites could be summarized as follows: Three satellites in Geostationary orbit (INSAT 3D, Kalpana, and INSAT 3A)Nine satellites in Sun-synchronous orbit (RESOURCESAT-2; CARTOSAT-1, 2, 2A and 2B; RISAT-1 and 2; OCEANSAT 2; SARAL)Equatorial orbit (MEGHA TROPIQUES)Both Optical and Microwave Sensors providing wide range of spatial, spectral, radiometric, and temporal resolutions.

In addition to the Chl-a images available from ocean colour data products as described above, ESSO-INCOIS has also setup ground station for real-time acquisition and processing of data from Oceansat-2 Ocean Colour Monitor (OCM) satellite and makes use of Chl-a images with 360 m spatial resolution available from Oceansat-2 satellite for operational generation of PFZs. Ocean-colour data retrieved from the first Indian ocean observation satellite Oceansat-1 was extensively used for various societal and scientific applications like Potential Fishing Zone (PFZ) identification, estimation of primary productivity, algal bloom detection and studying the coastal processes. Oceansat-2 spacecraft of Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) is the second satellite in ocean series, which was successfully launched on September 23, 2009. The Oceansat-2 OCM is mainly designed to keep the continuity to the Oceansat-1 OCM instrument and to obtain quantitative information of ocean-colour variables, e.g. Chl-a concentration, vertical diffuse attenuation of the light, (Kd) and total suspended matter (TSM) concentration in coastal waters (Figure 2).
