Resourcesat-1 (IRS-P6) was an Indian remote-sensing satellite launched in October 2003 to carry on the work of IRS-1C and IRS-1D. It photographed crops, land and water with three cameras of different sharpness.
No longer operational, according to the public satellite catalogue.
ISRO calls it the tenth satellite of the IRS series. It carried a three-level set of cameras: LISS-4 at 5.8 m resolution, LISS-3 at 23.5 m and two AWiFS cameras at 60 m. The sharp camera sees small areas in detail; the wide cameras see large areas often.
Its images were used for agriculture, disaster management and land and water resources.
Resourcesat-1 weighed 1,360 kg at launch and its solar array gave 1,250 W. It flew in a sun-synchronous polar orbit about 817 km high, crossing the equator at about 10:30 am. LISS-3 saw the same ground every 24 days, and the satellite could revisit an area every 5 days.
PSLV-C5, the eighth PSLV flight, launched it from Sriharikota on 17 October 2003.
