15. Introduction and History
The technology of
modern remote
sensing began with
the invention of the
camera more than
150 years ago.
In the 1840s
pictures were
taken from
cameras secured
to tethered
balloons.
At the end of
the last century
pigeon fleet
operated as the
most novel
platform .
15
Role of Satellite Intervention on Agricultural Development
16. By the first World War,
cameras mounted on
airplanes provided
aerial views of fairly
large surface areas.
In 1946, rockets were
launched that
contained automated
still or movie cameras
that took pictures as
the vehicle ascended.
In the 1960s, Earth-
orbiting cosmonauts
and astronauts acted
much like tourists by
taking photos out of
the window of their
spacecraft.
16
Role of Satellite Intervention on Agricultural Development
17. Satellite and aircraft remote
sensing is popular
nowadays. But satellite
remote sensing is the most
widely used. The information
collected by satellite is
transformed by data
receiving stations.

Role of Satellite Intervention on
Agricultural Development
51. Indian remote sensing
programme
First resource technology satellite(LAND SAT) was launched in 1972.
Remote sensing technology in India got further boost following the
successful launch of Aryabhata in 1975.
Bhaskara -1 and Bhaskara -2 are launched to carry out remote
sensing on experimental basis in 1979 and 1981.
The first Indian remote sensing satellite, IRS-1A was launched in
1988.
Subsequent to IRS-1A, more satellites namely IRS-1B, IRS-P2, IRS-
1C, IRS-P3, IRS-1D and IRS-P4 (ocean sat) were launched in
1991,1994, 1995 ,1996, 1997 and 1999 respectively.
52. Cont…..
India’s first unmanned spacecraft, Chandrayana-I to
moon was launched on Oct. 22nd 2008.
IRS-P6 launched in 2003 has a better multispectral imaging capability.
IRS-P5 (cartosat) launched in 2005.
IRS-P5 and IRS-P6 are used for improved vegetation description.
