ISRO Projects in Ladakh
Context:
ISRO has initiated multiple remote sensing and communication projects, including Resourcesat-3 series, TRISHNA, HRSAT, and NETRA, to improve monitoring, connectivity, and natural resource management in Ladakh.
Upcoming Satellites in Ladakh:
- Resourcesat-3 & 3A, Resourcesat-3S & 3SA, HRSAT, G20 Satellite, and TRISHNA Satellite are expected to be realised by 2027-2028.
- These will enhance remote sensing observations useful for land, water, agriculture, environment, and climate monitoring in Ladakh.
- Data from Cartosat-2/3, Resourcesat-2/2A, RISAT-1A, INSAT-3DR/3DS, Oceansat-3, SARAL, and NISAR are already available for the region.
Ladakh-Specific Remote Sensing Projects
- LAMA (Ladakh Specific Modelling & Space Applications): Focus on natural resources, environment, climate change; customized geoportal for resource management.
- Geo-Ladakh SDI Portal: Supports agriculture, horticulture, artificial glaciers, water conservation, renewable energy, and flood hazard assessment.
- AMRUT-1.0 & 2.0: GIS-based Master Plans for Leh and Kargil, and Waterbody Information System.
- LULC Change Analysis: Land Use/Land Cover mapping at 1:50,000 scale (2020–21 and 2025–26).
- Disaster Management Support Programme (DMSP): Provides satellite data inputs for disaster preparedness in Ladakh Himalaya.
- NETRA Telescope at Hanle: Tracks space objects in Geostationary Orbit (GEO), aiding space situational awareness.
