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. Two identical satellites will provide resolution in the range of 42 to 318 m. It will carry multi-spectral, multi-resolution imaging instruments.
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.

Abilities

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.
Features of GISAT-1 are:
BandChannelsGround ResolutionRange
Multispectral 6420.45 – 0.875
Hyperspectral 1583180.375 – 1.0
Hyperspectral 2561910.9 – 2.5
