Indian Remote Sensing Satellites (IRS)

Indian Remote Sensing Satellites (IRS) are a series of Earth observation satellites launched by India to monitor and study the planet's surface and environment. They capture high-resolution images and data used for agriculture, forestry, water resources, urban planning, disaster management, and environmental monitoring. Operated by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), these satellites provide valuable information to support sustainable development, resource management, and disaster mitigation, enhancing decision-making at government and community levels. Their technological capabilities enable detailed, timely insights into Earth's features, helping address challenges and promote national development.
