After successfully launching AGNI - 5 (ICBM) last week ,India on Thursday successfully launched its first indigenous all-weather radar imaging satellite RISAT-1 giving a boost to its space program by PSLV.


  It is the country's first microwave remote sensing satellite which  has the capability to take images of Earth during day and night, as well as in cloudy conditions. Therefore, it will boost its remote sensing capabilities and facilitate agriculture and disaster management.

India will launch Cartosat 2B soon. According to the Chairman of ISRO, this is a high-resolution remote sensing satellite with 0.8 metre resolution that can even take pictures of a car on the ground. It will help in Infrastructre and Urban Planning in India. the launch vehicle for it will be PSLV rocket.

Previously, we have Cartosat-2 and Cartosat 2-A which have been launched January 2007 and April 2008 respectively.
