IRS-P3, launched in March 1996 and finalised in March 2004, was an ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) experimental EO mission, considered to be pre-operational and serving in parallel for technology evaluation and scientific methodology studies.
The MOS instrument was provided by DLR in the framework of a cooperative agreement between ISRO and DLR. The objectives of the mission were the scientific remote sensing applications and algorithm development based on joint interpretation of MOS and WiFS data and the pre-operational test of data processing and algorithm concepts.
