Risat 1 Satellite

Risat is the first indigenous satellite imaging mission of isro indian space research organization using an active radar sensor system namely a c band sar synthetic aperture radar imager an important microwave complement to its optical irs indian remote sensing satellite.

Risat 1 satellite. Abstract india launched c band 5 35 ghz risat 1 radar imaging satellite 1 on 26th april 2012 equipped with the capability to image the earth at multiple resolutions and polarizations. Risat 1 radar imaging satellite 1 spacecraft launch mission status sensor complement ground segment references. Radar imaging satellite 1 or risat 1 was an indian remote sensing satellite built and operated by the indian space research organisation isro. Radar satellite 1 risat 1 is a state of the art microwave remote sensing satellite carrying a synthetic aperture radar sar payload operating in c band 5 35 ghz which enables imaging of the surface features during both day and night under all weather conditions.

Risat 1 radar imaging satellite was launched on april 26 2012 on board a pslv rocket. On 26 april 2012 india s first indigenous all weather radar imaging satellite risat 1 whose images will facilitate agriculture and disaster management was launched via pslv c19 radar satellite 1 risat 1 is a state of the art microwave remote sensing satellite carrying a synthetic aperture radar sar payload operating in c band 5 35 ghz which enables imaging of the surface features. Risat 1 was an indigenously developed radar imaging satellite successfully launched by a pslv xl rocket on april 26 2012 from satish dhawan space centre shriharikota. No link provided data access information.

Usefulness of risat 1 data was demonstrated for low density biomass estimation. The second risat satellite to be launched it uses c band 5 35 ghz synthetic aperture radar for earth observation. The launch of risat 1 came several years after that of risat 2 which carried an israeli built x band radar. 2200 w data access link.

Radar imaging satellite 1 satellite description. Direct reception at appointed ground stations in x band. It had been in space for 4 4 years when the incident reported by nasa occurred. 1858 kg dry mass.

160 x 4 mbit s data handling system. The features of risat 1 include. Risat 1 was postponed in order to prioritize the building and launch of risat 2.
