Indian Remote Sensing (IRS) 1C was launched in 1995, followed by 1D in 1997. Both of these sateillites carry three different imaging sensors: Linear Imaging Self Scanner (LISS) 1 and 2, a panchromatic scanner (PAN), and a Wide Field Scanner (WiFS). These satellites have a polar, circular, sun-synchronous 817-km orbit with a 24-day repeat cycle. The PAN can be pointed for 5 day repeat off nadir looks. Each of the three scanners have different swath widths:
| Band | Wavelength Region (µm) | Resolution (m) |
| 1 | 0.52 - 0.59 (green) | 24 |
| 2 | 0.62 - 0.68 (red) | 24 |
| 3 | 0.77 - 0.86 (near-IR) | 24 |
| 4 | 1.55 - 1.70 (mid-IR) | 71 |
| Band | Wavelength Region (µm) | Resolution (m) |
| 1 | 0.50-0.75 | 6 |
| Band | Wavelength Region (µm) | Resolution (m) |
| 1 | 0.62-0.68 (red) | 188 |
| 2 | 0.77-0.86 (near-IR) | 188 |
