TRISHNA Mission:
Thermal Infrared Imaging Satellite for High-resolution Natural Resource Assessment (TRISHNA) mission, a collaboration between ISRO and CNES (French Space Agency), aims to monitor surface temperature and water management globally.
- It includes two primary payloads: Thermal Infra-Red (TIR) from CNES for infrared imaging and VNIR-SWIR from ISRO for surface reflectance mapping.
- Operating in a Sun-synchronous orbit, it will aid climate monitoring, urban planning, and disaster management.
- The mission aims to monitor the energy and water budgets of continental biospheres, alongside high-resolution observation of water quality and dynamics.
- It provides detailed monitoring of surface temperature, emissivity, and radiation variables, aiding regional to global surface energy budgeting.
- Additionally, it assists in assessing urban heat islands, detecting thermal anomalies, and monitoring snow-melt runoff, glacier dynamics, aerosol optical depth, atmospheric water vapour, and cloud cover.
