RESOURCESAT

RAKHI OJHA
1800164MSG
RESOURCESAT -1 (IRS-P6)

 Launched on 17 October 2003


 Designed to provide multispectral, monoscopic and stereoscopic images of the earth’s surface
 Sensors –
o Linear Imaging and Self Scanning Sensor (LISS-III)
o Advanced Wide Field Sensor (AWiFS)
o High Resolution Multispectral Sensor LISS-IV

 Provide standard and value added data products


RESOURCESAT 2

 Launched on 20th April, 2011


 The core objective is to support remote sensing data for integrated land and water resources management at
micro level, with improved spectral and spatial coverage
 Has the capability to capture the data globally through the on-board Solid State Recorder having 400 GB capacity
apart from making the data available to the ground stations in real time.
 The satellite is premeditated to provide both multi-spectral and panchromatic images of the Earth’s surface.
The improvements over Resourcesat-1 are:
 LISS-IV MX operates with 70 km swath for Indian foot print and flexibility to operate in 23 km swath.
 AWiFS data with 12 bit radiometric resolution.
 LISS-III and LISS-IV data with 10 bits radiometric resolution.
 Enhanced power to facilitate increased operations per orbit.
 Improved SSR capacity of 200GB and an extra of 200 GB only for 70 km MX data.
RESOURCESAT 2A

 Launched on 7 December 2016

 It is intended to continue the remote sensing data services to global users provided by Resourcesat – 1 and – 2

 Carries two Solid State Recorders with a capacity of 200 Giga Bits each to store the images taken by its cameras
which can be read out later to ground stations

CASE STUDY

Using RESOURCESAT-1 data for determination


of snow cover and snowline altitude, Baspa
Basin, India
Rakesh K; Anil V. K; B.S. CHAUDHARY
2010
INTRODUCTION

 Investigation of snow cover and snow line altitude determination for the Baspa Basin, using data from the
RESOURCESAT-1 satellite’s Advanced Wide Field Sensor (AWiFS) and the Shuttle Radar Topographic
Mission’s (SRTM) observations of terrain elevation.
 AWiFS is a unique instrument capable of acquiring images of the world repeatedly every 5 days with very
high radiometric resolution. It provides a wide swath width, which is very useful for snow-cover mapping
 Snowline and snow cover variations from place to place and through time provide much information about
regional climate and shorter-timescale meteorological fluctuations
STUDY AREA

 Carried out in the Baspa Basin, located in the Kinnaur district of Himachal Pradesh, India.
 The Baspa Basin is highly glacierized and located in the higher-altitude range
 This basin is very important, as many hydroelectric power projects are being planned.
 Due to the high altitude of the basin, streamflow is mostly generated from snow- and glacier-melt runoff
METHODOLOGY

 Snowline altitude for the period from October 2004 to June 2005, and from October 2006 to June 2007, is
determined for the Baspa Basin
 An area by elevation histogram, i.e. hypsography, is determined using a SRTM DEM dataset combined with the
basin outline
 The study region is broken into areas separated by contour intervals of 100 m, and this breakdown is used to
establish the elevation zones
 A total of 54 AWiFS scenes were analysed and the snow cover determined using the NDSI technique which can
detect snow under mountain shadows and is not influenced by topographic conditions
 AWiFS is a unique sensor, providing global data with a spatial resolution of 56 m at 5 day intervals
RESULTS

 It is observed that snowline altitude is generally higher during the year 2006/ 07 than during 2004/05, except in
December 2006 and March 2007
 During 2004/05, snowfall is maximum in February 2005, and during 2006/07 the maximum is in March 2007. It
follows that snowline altitude will be at a minimum during these months
 The periodical study of spatio-temporal variations of snowline can help in assessing the hydrologic cycle balance
that will affect the large human populations of South Asia
