IRS-P2 was an Earth observation satellite launched under the NNRMS (National Natural Resources Management System) programme undertaken by ISRO. The objectives of the mission was to provide spaceborne capability to India in observing and managing the Natural Resources and utilizing them in productive manner. The satellite carried Imaging multi-spectral radiometers on board for radio sensing of the resources.
History
The satellite was designed, developed and tested in just one and a half years.[2] IRS-P2 is one of the satellites in the Indian Remote Sensing series of Earth Observation satellites, assembled, launched and maintained by the Indian Space Research Organisation.[3] The satellite was controlled by ISRO Telemetry Tracking and Command Network (ISTRAC) in Bangalore, Lucknow and Mauritius. The National Remote Sensing Agency (NRSA), Hyderabad received the first signal from IRS-P2 98 minutes after the launch. The IRS-P2 was declared operational from 7 November 1994 after certain orbital manoeuvres and started its 3-year-long observation mission.[4][5]
Payloads
IRS-P2 carried two identical payloads, LISS-2A & LISS-2B which were capable of providing imagery in four spectral bands in the visible and IR range with 32.74 meter resolution.[6][7]
Mission Completion
IRS-P2 completed its mission successfully in 1997 with duration of 3 years.
