About GISAT:
The satellite 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 be placed in geostationary orbit of 36,000
km.
Functions:
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 image every 5 minutes and entire Indian landmass image every 30 minutes at 50m spatial resolution. It will function as ‘an eye in the sky’observe earth from geo-stationery orbit, enabling continuous observation of Indian sub-continent, to facilitate quick monitoring of natural hazards and disaster.
