Earth Observation Satellites Series and its Potentialities
Keywords:
Remote Sensor, Satellite, Satellite Orbit, PayloadAbstract
Science is one of the tools to explore earth Information. Space science leading its efforts in three main areas: (i) Development of Remote Sensing Satellites, (ii) Development of Communication and Metrological Satellites, (iii) Development of Different types of Launch Vehicles to put the satellites in proper orbits. Remote Sensing means acquiring information about a phenomenon object or surface while at a distance from it. Satellite is a secondary object that revolves in a closed orbit around a planet or the sun for scientific research. Remote Sensing Satellites has proved way for human to understand of weather forecasting, to observe the phenomena on the earth’s surface, under oceans and underneath the surface of the earth. This paper describes a review of Earth Observation Satellites which has launched by ISRO after 2013 and their scope in the field of Remote Sensing and future missions to be undertaken.
