GEO Imaging Satellite

Geo Imaging Satellite or GISAT is an Indian imaging satellite class for geostationary orbit with a high temporal resolution, meant for providing near real time imaging with fast revisit capability and real time monitoring.[6] Two identical satellites will provide resolution in the range of 42 to 318 m.[1][7] It will carry multi-spectral (Visible and Near-InfraRed, and Short Wave-InfraRed), multi-resolution (42 to 318 m) imaging instruments.[8]

Geo Imaging Satellite Gisat-1 onboard GSLV-F10 was planned to launch on March 5, 2020, but launch was deferred due to some technical reasons.[9][5][10][11]

Abilities
The GISAT-1 in deployed configuration.

GISATs will image in multi-spectral and hyper-spectral bands to provide near real-time pictures of large areas of the country, under cloud-free conditions, at frequent intervals which is, selected field image in every 5 minutes and entire Indian landmass image every 30 minutes at 42 m spatial resolution.[1]

Features of GISAT-1 are:

  • 700 mm Ritchey–Chrétien telescope based on the design of Cartosat 2A.
  • Array detectors in Visible and Near-InfraRed (VNIR), and Short Wave-InfraRed (SWIR) bands.
  • Electronically steerable, Phased Array Antenna.
  • High agility, jitter-free platform.
