Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is
designing a satellite – GEO Imaging Satellite (GISAT), which will be
placed in geostationary orbit of 36,000 km. GISAT will provide near
real time pictures of large areas of the country, under cloud free
conditions, at frequent intervals. That is, selected sector-wise
imaging every 5 minutes and entire Indian landmass every 30 minutes at
50m spatial resolution.
GISAT will carry a GEO Imager with multi-spectral (visible, near
infra-red and thermal), multi-resolution (50m to 1.5 km) imaging
instruments. It will provide pictures of the area of interest on near
real time basis including border areas.
