India demonstrated the ability of remote sensing for societal application by detecting coconut root-wilt disease from a helicopter mounted multispectral camera in 1970. This was followed by flying two experimental satellites, Bhaskara -1 in 1979 and Bhaskara-2 in 1981.

Mar 17, 2023 · For India, this collaboration played a catalytic role in the early years of building capability in satellite technology and greatly assisted in accelerating the Indian efforts of using space technology for national development.

Today, India has one of the largest constellations of remote sensing satellites in operation. Varieties of instruments have been flown onboard these satellites to provide necessary data in a diversified spatial, spectral and temporal resolutions to cater to different user requirements in the country and for global usage.
