Remote sensing is a technique of collecting information about the earth's natural resources using aircraft or satellites. The basic tool used here is photography-infrared and false colour photography in particular. Images can be electronically processed to produce multicolor images and maps outlining areas of specific interest such as diseased or pest infected crops, forest areas, rich fishing areas in seas, even underground water and mineral reserves. Remote sensing is an indispensable tool for better monitoring and management of natural resources.
The first satellite in the IRS series, IRS-1A designed for a life of three years was launched in March 1988. Indian Remote Sensing Satellite (IRS) System is under the National Natural Resources Management System (MNRMS).

Cartosat 2E
June 2017
It is an Earth observation satellite developed by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), and is the seventh in the Cartosat series. It is designed to collect high-resolution, large-scale imagery for use in urban planning, infrastructure development, utilities planning, and traffic management.
Cartosat 2D
Feb 2017
It is an Earth observation satellite in a sun-synchronous orbit and the fifth of the Cartosat series of satellites. The satellite is built, launched and maintained by the Indian Space Research Organisation. It was launched by the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle - C37.
Resourcesat 2A
Dec2016
It is a follow on mission to Resourcesat-1 and the eighteenth Indian Remote Sensing satellite built by ISRO. The new satellite provides the same services as the original RESOURCESAT-1, but was also designed to "provide data with enhanced multispectral and spatial coverage". Compared to Resourcesat-1, LISS-4 multispectral swath has been enhanced from 23 km to 70 km based on user needs. Suitable changes including miniaturization in payload electronics have been incorporated
