Discusses the first remote sensing data obtained from the satellite, 'Bhaskara', using a passive microwave remote sensor. The payload, satellite microwave radiometer (SAMIR), is a three-channel microwave radiometric system, two of them operating in the 19-GHz band and the third in the 22-GHz band. SAMIR is one of the primary payloads on-board Bhaskara and its chief objectives are investigations of sea state, water vapour and liquid water content in the atmosphere, and over the oceans adjoining the Indian subcontinent. The data over land would give synoptic information related to soil moisture, snow cover and biomass studies which would be of interest in regard to applications in Earth resources.
