The main objective of Earth observation satellites is to gather information about earth - physical, chemical and biological systems.

• Cartography, Oceanography, Meterology, Natural Resource Management & Space Science
• Rural Development and Urban Management
• Forest Cover and Bio resources
• Weather monitoring and forecasting
• River banks erosion and fresh water mapping
• Climate impact on bio-diversity and wild life and its migration pattern
• Monitoring and forecasting natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes, cloud burst, glacier avalanches
• Town / City planning for rails, roads, flyovers and bridges etc
• Crop estimation and disease detection and loss estimation
• Monitoring of Fish Shoals for fisheries
• Mineralogy mapping and Monitoring

Small Satellites are for technology demonstration, scientific missions as well operational missions, with smaller payloads. ADCOS (Advisory Committee for Space Sciences) has been reviewing the proposals of scientific payloads and recommending the suitable missions for scientific satellites based on the value of the science outcome and the research potential. The requirements of the payloads and corresponding missions are studied to identify the required developments, satellite platform sub-systems and configure the satellite missions around IMS-1 and IMS-2 satellite buses.
