Encyclopedia > Bhaskara Satellite series

Bhaskara-I and II Satellites were two satellites built by the Indian space program that formed India's first low orbit Earth Observation Satellite.They collected data on telemtry, oceanography, hydrology. This article needs to be cleaned up to conform to a higher standard of quality. ... A low Earth orbit (LEO) is an orbit in which objects such as satellites are below intermediate circular orbit (ICO) and far below geostationary orbit, but typically around 350 - 1400 km above the Earths surface. ... Earth observation satellites are satellites specifically designed to observe Earth from orbit, similar to reconnaissance satellites but intended for non-military uses such as environmental monitoring, meteorology, map making etc. ...


Bhaskara-I

Bhaskara-I, weighing 444 kg at launch, was launched on June 7, 1979 from Kapustin Yar aboard the Intercosmos launch vehicle. It was placed in an orbital Perigee and Apogee of 394 km and 399 km at an inclination of 50.7°.[1] The satellite consisted of- June 7 is the 158th day of the year in the Gregorian calendar (159th in leap years), with 207 days remaining. ...

  • Satellite microwave radiometer (SAMIR) operating at 19 GHz and 22 GHz for study of ocean-state, water vapor, liquid water content in the atmosphere, etc.

The satellite provided eseful ocean and land surface data. However, the cameras malfunctioned. Housekeeping telemetry was received until re-entry on 17 February 1989. A professional video camera (often called a television camera even though the use has spread) is a high-end device for recording electronic moving images (as opposed to a movie camera, that records the images on film). ...

Bhaskara-II

Bhaskara II, weighing 436kg, was launched on November 20, 1981 from Kapustin Yar. It was declared operational after receipt of 300 television images of the Indian sub-continent. The housekeeping telemetry was still being received until 1991. It re-entered orbit on 30 November 1991.It was placed in an orbital Perigee and Apogee of 368km and 372 km at an inclination of 50.7°.[1] November 20 is the 324th day of the year (325th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...
