The INS 2TD (ISRO NanoSatellite 2TD) is a nanosatellite developed by ISRO as a technology demonstrator satellit, which is a precursor to the India-Bhutan joint satellite (INS-2B).

Having a thermal imaging camera as its payload, the satellite benefits the assessment of: land surface temperature; water surface temperature of wetlands/lakes; delineation of vegetation (crops and forest); and thermal inertia (day/night).
