It will also provide accurate information about floods and cyclones.
For the first time, a 4 meter diameter ogive-shaped payload fairing (heat shield) has been used in the rocket. In addition, the satellite will have a 6-band multispectral view and 42-metre resolution payload imaging sensors of near-infra-red.
After the launch of JASAT-1, India will focus on the launch of EOS-4 or RISAT 1A, a radar imaging satellite that can take day and night images. The satellite is poised to play a strategic role in the defense of the country by virtue of its ability to move evenly throughout the day and in all weather conditions.
