    Cloud-free collections key for land monitoring

    Satellite imagery is a crucially important tool for monitoring the land, but cloud cover can often block parts of Earth’s surface from view, limiting subsequent analyses.

    About IRS-1C and IRS-1D

    The IRS (Indian Remote Sensing) satellites form a large family of Earth observation satellites operated by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).

    IRS-1C and IRS-1D were identical Earth-imaging satellites launched two years apart:

    • IRS-1C was launched in 1995 and ceased operations in 2007
    • IRS-1D was launched in 1997 and ceased operations in 2010

    IRS-1C and IRS-1D Objectives

    The primary objective of IRS-1C and IRS-1D was to provide systematic and repetitive acquisition of data of the Earth's surface under nearly constant illumination conditions.
