Associated Platforms IRS-P6 Spectral/Frequency Information Wavelength Keyword: Near Infrared Number Channels: 4 Spectral/Frequency Coverage/Range: 0.77 μm - 1.70 μm Wavelength Keyword: Visible Number Channels: 4 Spectral/Frequency Coverage/Range: 0.52 μm - 0.68 μm Related Data Sets View all records related to this instrument Description The AWiFS camera provides enhanced capabilities compared to the WiFS camera on-board IRS-1C/1D, in terms of spatial resolution (56 m Vs 188m), radiometric resolution (10 bits Vs 7 bits) and Spectral bands (4 Vs 2) with the additional feature of on-board detector calibration using LEDs. The spectral bands of AWiFS are same as LISS-III. The AWiFS camera is realized in two electro-optic modules viz.,. AWiFS-A and AWiFS-B, each containing four band assemblies. A combined swath of 740 Km is realized by mounting the two modules on the Deck, with their optical axes tilted by 11.94 deg away from the + yaw axis in opposite direction. With this mounting, a side lap of 128 pixels i.e., about 7.2kKm, is available in the combined swath. Instrument Logistics Instrument Start Date: 2003-10-17 Instrument Owner: India |
