LISS-III Resolution
The LISS –III Sensor provides Multispectral data in 4 Bands. The Spatial Resolution for visible is 2 bands, and Near-Infrared 1 band is 23.5 meters with a ground swath of 141 kms. The short wave infrared band is the 4th band, has a spatial resolution of 70.5 meters with a ground swath of 148 kms. The repetitive of LISS–III is 24 days.
