The second Indian remote sensing satellite Bhaskara-II has three microwave radiometers operating at 19.35, 22.235 and 3l.4GHz. Brightness temperature (TB) data have been acquired by these radiometers during the period from December 1981 to July 1983 comprising 325 passes. The ground resolution of...
The second Indian satellite for earth observations, BHASKARA-II, was launched into a near-earth orbit on 20 November 1981. The Satellite Microwave Radiometer (SAMIR) is one of the two primary payloads onboard the spin-stabilized satellite which is functionally similar to its predecessor, BHASKAR...

Capability of Bhaskara-II satellite microwave radiometer brightness temperature data to discriminate soil moisture conditions of Indian landmassWith the objective of developing Microwave Remote Sensing technology in the country, India has launched a series of Satellites Bhaskara-I and II with the ...
The Satellite Microwave Radiometer (SAMIR-II) on board the second Indian remote sensing satellite, Bhaskara-II, measured microwave radiation at 19.35, 22.235, and 31.4 GHz. These measurements are primarily influenced by water vapor, cloud liquid water, and wind speed. The effect of collinearity ...
Bhaskara II SAMIR dataApplying the method of 'statistical linear regression', atomspheric water vapour over oceanic areas has been estimated from the 19 GHz and 22 GHz data of the satellite microwave radiometer ( SAMIR ) system onboard the Bhaskara II satellite. In the absence of any ...
The Indian satellite Bhaskara-II carried a three-frequency passive microwave radiometer system, the Satellite Microwave Radiometer (SAMIR), operating at the 19·35, 22·235 and 31·4GHz frequencies. Rao et al. (1987) have analysed a limited amount of SAMIR data, pertaining to five orbital ...
Studies on brightness temperature (TB) data of 325 passes acquired by Bhaskara-II satellite microwave radiometers (SAMIR) at 19 35, 22 235 and 31 4 GHz indicate that certain passes have interesting TB data trends over land and sea in spite of coarse ground resolution. Here an attempt is ...
This paper presents the system design, hardware realization and inorbit performance of VHF Tracking Transponder onboard BHASKARA II. The system as a prime payload is being used for transponding the tracking data for the satellite. The range and range rate data obtained from the satellite is ...
