| Abstract |
IRS-P3 is an ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) experimental EO (Earth Observation) mission, a follow-up mission to IRS-P2, considered to be preoperational and serving in parallel for technology evaluation and scientific methodology studies. A portion of the payload is provided by DLR (German Aerospace Center) in the framework of a cooperative agreement between ISRO and DLR. In addition, DLR provides data reception support (Neustrelitz) and launch phase support. The objectives of the mission are:
• Technological test of the PSLV launch vehicle
• Scientific remote sensing applications and algorithm development based on joint interpretation of MOS and WiFS data
• Preoperational test of data processing and algorithm concepts
• Radioastronomy experiments using the X-ray payload
