image - (Indigenously
launched operational satellite)
Satellite entered in elliptical orbits
instead of circular after it was separated from
rocket. Due to this problem, there is change in
swath, resolution according to orbit distance
from the earth center.
Launch date : Sept. 29, 1997 (indigenous
PSLV-D4 rocket was used)
Equatorial Crossing time: 10.40 A.M
Alitude : 737 Km(Perigee)/821 Km. (Apogee)
Repetivity : 24 days; ( 3 days revisit) No.
of Sensors : Three; 1) PAN, 2) LISS-III and
3) WiFS
Payloads
The payloads are similar to IRS-1C (PAN, LISS-III and
WiFS). The satellite is a follow on to IRS-1C
