India successfully launches radar imaging “Risat-1 satellite”
India successfully launched Radar Imaging Satellite,
Risat-1 from Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh on Thursday joined a select
group of nations having such an advanced technology.
The US, Canada and Europe are having such technology. The
indigenously built Risat-1, with a life span of five years, will be used
for disaster prediction and agriculture forestry. The high resolution
pictures and microwave imaging from Risat-1 could also be used for
defence purposes as it can look through the clouds and fog.
The ISRO-made Risat-1 is the heaviest luggage so far ferried by a PSLV since 1993. ISRO chairman K. Radhakrishnan said after the launch that PSLV-C19 mission is a grand success and this is the 20th successive successful flight of PSLV.
The Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh hailed the successful launch of PSLV carrying RISAT-1 and congratulated the scientists associated with the project.
