A reminder how important GISAT-1A Satellite means to India's #NationalSecurity
Unlike conventional remote-sensing satellites operating in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) that pass over a specific area only once every few days, GISAT-1A is positioned in a Geostationary orbit above the Earth. This fixed vantage point enables high-frequency imaging over the same geographic expanse acting as a 'Eye in the Sky' for the country during Day Time Hours.
The satellite can capture full-disk images of the Indian Subcontinent every 30 minutes and focus on selected target areas every 5 minutes.
