2 Four Decades of Indian Space Programme 30LV Missions 59 BUDGET ~ USD 1 billion ( ) + 25 S/C Missions SELF RELIANCE & STATE OF THE ART TECHNOLOGY APPLICATIONS LEADERSHIP HUMAN RESOURCES strong INDUSTRY SPACE COMMERCE INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION INFRASTRUCTURE End- to- end capability LARGE USER BASE we must be second to none in the applications of advanced technologies to the real problems of man and society. The 24th CEOS Plenary Rio de Janeiro, Brazil October,

3 Indian EO Programme: The Uniqueness Vibrant Space Segment: Constellation of Satellites Resourcesat, Cartosat, Oceansat Institutional Framework: NNRMS Diversity of Applications Natural Resources Livelihood support Disaster Management Reaching the Community Addressing nation s developmental priorities Goals Sub meter & Hyper-Spectral imaging Microwave Remote Sensing Atmospheric Science & Environment studies Disaster Management Support The 24th CEOS Plenary Rio de Janeiro, Brazil October,

4 EO Satellites operational in India The Indian EO system operates one of the largest constellations of satellites (10 at present) providing remote sensing data in a variety of spatial, spectral and temporal resolutions, meeting the needs of land and water resources management, cartographic mapping, ocean and atmospheric applications. They are Oceansat-1, TES, Resourcesat-1, Cartosat- 1, Cartosat-2, IMS-1, Cartosat-2A, RISAT-2, Oceansat-2 and Cartosat-2B The 24th CEOS Plenary Rio de Janeiro, Brazil October,

5 EO Satellites operational in India Towards National Development 2008 IMS HySI 2009 RISAT-2 X-SAR 2009 OCEANSAT-2 OCM, SCAT, ROSA CARTOSAT-2B PAN 2007/ TES PAN 2003 RESOURCESAT-1 LISS 3; LISS 4; AWiFS 2005 CARTOSAT-1 PAN, F/A CARTOSAT-2 & 2A PAN Food & Water Security Infrastructure Development Weather & Climate Disaster Management Support Environment & Ecosystems Smart Governance Education & Healthcare Sustainable Development Rural Development Strategic Applications 5

6 Oceansat OCM-2: Meeting Global Demand OCM LAC data is downloaded over Indian and International ground stations (USA, South Korea, Europe, Malaysia, Thailand and Australia). OCM data products, especially PFZ is distributed to the Indian fishing community within 3 hours of data download. Oceansat-2 OCM is the part of virtual constellation of satellites on Ocean Colour Radiometry (OCR) of CEOS OCM GAC data is downloaded during every orbit and data products are uploaded onto the NRSC/ISRO website for global users within 30 minutes of data download. The 24 th CEOS Plenary Rio de Janeiro, Brazil October,

7 Oceansat Scatterometer Data Products Global requirement of Scatterometer wind product within 180 minutes of data acquisition is achieved thru Data download over Svalbard, Norway - for every orbit, within 2 min Transfer of data to Shadnagar/ NRSC, India using high-speed communication link (45 Mbps) in ~ 2 min Data processing, products generation within 25 min Level-2 data products (wind vector) are uploaded to NRSC web portal within 153 min of acquisition Same data products are disseminated to EUMETSAT, Darmstadt via ISRO Data Exchange Gateway at Svalbard thru 45 Mbps link in about 5-7 min Subsequently, upload to EUMETCast for dissemination to EUMETSAT in Europe, US & South Africa within 160 min The data products are also disseminated to NASA/ NOAA from EUMETSAT via 45 Mbps link Oceansat-2 Scatterometer derived Wind vectors November 10, 2009 : 19 GMT (Phyan Cyclone) Oceansat-2 Scatterometer is part of virtual constellation of satellites on Ocean Surface Vector Wind (OSVW) of CEOS The 24 th CEOS Plenary Rio de Janeiro, Brazil October,
