Following the 2023 conference https://thermal2023.esa.int, CNES and the Indian space agency ISRO are organizing the 2nd International Workshop on High Resolution Thermal Earth Observation in Ahmedabad (India) from November 19 to 21, 2024. Save the date
The Indian and French Space Agencies, ISRO and CNES, are jointly developing a state-of-the-art Thermal InfraRed (TIR) – Visible Shortwave InfraRed (VSWIR) Imaging Satellite mission, TRISHNA for high-resolution natural resources assessment. The satellite is planned to be launched on-board Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) during 2026 for a duration of 5 years with possible extension of 2 years.
Data acquisition will cover the entire globe for four (4) TIR bands around noon and midnight times, as well as in seven (7) VSWIR bands. TRISHNA will offer a spatial resolution of 60 meters with a revisit period of 3 days at the equator and more at higher latitudes. A primary objective of TRISHNA mission is to provide consistent and systematic records of surface temperature, in addition to several biophysical variables, to model the surface energy balance allowing to derive heat fluxes and estimate evapotranspiration.
The need for high-resolution thermal observation has been recognized also internationally, leading to complementary missions in preparation like Surface Biology and Geology (SBG) (NASA/ASI) and Land Surface Temperature Monitoring (LSTM) (ESA/EC).
To reach out to the Indian and global science community and various user agencies/departments for awareness creation and larger involvement in the utilization of TRISHNA data and science products, a 3-day workshop is planned to be organized by ISRO during November 19 – 21, 2024. In preamble of the workshop, tutorials will be conducted on modelling tools for thermal radiative transfer, surface energy balance and evapotranspiration during November 17 – 18, 2024 at Ahmedabad. A detailed program and registration site will be available shortly. The flyer below already gives some additional information.
