Indian Remote Sensing Satellite. Remote sensing of the Earth for natural resources management applications. Earth Observing satellite for ISRO, India. Launched 1988-1991. Used IRS-1 Bus.

AKA: Cartosat;Megha;Resourcesat. Status: Operational 1988. First Launch: 1988-03-17. Last Launch: 2012-04-26. Number: 16 . Gross mass: 1,250 kg (2,750 lb).

Data from IRS satellites was received and processed by the National Remote Sensing Agency, Hyderabad. The US company SI also received and marketed IRS data worldwide under a commercial contract with the Antrix Corporation of the Indian Department of Space.

IRS-P6 was the tenth satellite of the IRS series, and carried three cameras similar to those of IRS-1C and IRS-1D but with improved spatial resolutions:

IRS-P6 also carried a Solid State Recorder with a capacity of 120 GigaBits to store the images taken by its cameras, which can be read out later to the ground stations.
