Bengaluru-based start-up Pixxel launched Anand, its third hyperspectral satellite onboard the PSLV, to capture our planet in detail and provide environmental data.
Developed by CRIS (Centre for Railway Information Systems) in collaboration with ISRO, the RTIS device installed in the locomotive will detect the position and speed of trains with the help of ISRO-developed GAGAN geo-positioning system.
“HysIS is an earth observation satellite developed by ISRO. It is the primary satellite of the PSLV-C43 mission. The satellite will be placed in 636 km polar sun-synchronous orbit (SSO) with an inclination of 97.957 deg.”
Indian Space Research Organization is all set to create history by launching a record number of 22 satellites in a single mission – the highest number for ISRO so far.
Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) will soon open a 100 acre Space Park in Bengaluru. The park will be located in Whitefield area, and private industries will be allowed to use it for manufacturing subsystems and components for satellites.
