Project TRISHNA

Project TRISHNA or Thermal infraRed Imaging Satellite for High resolution Natural resource Assessment is a collaboration between India’s ISRO and France’s space agency CNES. The project seeks to monitor and study the water cycle to enable the sustainable use of water. For this mission, an earth observation satellite with thermal infrared imager is to be used. The feasibility study for the project has been completed. India and France are now looking at a third joint project in the space sector after the Megha Tropiques in 2011 and Saral Altika in 2013.
