The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has launched images of Earth captured by the EOS-06 satellite. The area company stated that the images are a mosaic generated by the ISRO’s National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC). ”NRSC/ISRO has generated a worldwide False Colour Composite (FCC) mosaic from the images captured by the Ocean Colour Monitor (OCM) payload on board EOS-06,” the area company stated.
It additional added that the mosaic with 1 km spatial decision is generated by combining 2939 particular person images, after processing 300 GB information to indicate the Earth as seen throughout February 1 and 15. “OCM senses the Earth in 13 distinct wavelengths to provide information about global vegetation cover on Land and Ocean Biota for global oceans,” ISRO added.
The EOS-06 third technology satellite within the Oceansat sequence was launched by ISRO onboard the PSLV-C54 together with eight Nano-satellites on November 26.
EOS-06 offers continued companies of Oceansat-2 with enhanced payload functionality and carries 4 payloads OCM-, Sea Surface Temperature Monitor , Ku-Band Scatterometer, ARGOS.
The EOS-06 is envisaged to look at ocean shade information, sea floor temperature and wind vector information to make use of in Oceanography, climatic and meteorological purposes. The satellite additionally helps worth added merchandise reminiscent of potential fishing zone utilizing chlorophyll, SST and wind pace and land primarily based geophysical parameters.
