ISRO Launched SPY Satellite RISAT-2

The Indian Space Research Organisation successfully launched an all weather spy satellite with the help of security agencies that monitor the hundreds of mountain vallys that connects India with Pakistan and terrorist hideouts in Afghanistan. ISRO launched it at 6:45 a.m. on Monday from the spaceport in Sriharikota. The PSLV-C12 rocket placed in its first Radar Imaging Satellite (RISAT 2) and ascended towards the sky and micro-educational satellite ANUSAT into orbit about 19 minutes later in a textbook launch.

The spy satellite, RISAT 2 which is 300 kg weighted was launched by PSLV-C2 from Satish Space Centre in Sriharikota. The satellite would mainly watch on the county's borders and facilitate the anti- infiltration and anti- terrorist operations. ISRO Chairman G Madhvan Nair said that the performance of the PSLV-C12 launch vehicle was accurate.

The RISAT-2 is a dedicated help in mapping and managing natural disasters and for all weather surveillance tool to take the images of earth. ANUSAT is the demonstrate the technologies related to message store and forward operations, which made by student by an Indian University. The rocket would place both the satellites in their orbits around the earth shortly.

Different from previous remote sensing satellites, RISAT2 Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) receive signals which are processed into high- resolution pictures, equipped with many antennas. The SAR, developed by Israel Aerospace Industries, equips RISAT with defence capabilities.
