GSAT-29
GSAT-29 Spacecraft is a communication satellite configured with ISRO’s enhanced I-3K bus. It will be launched onboard second developmental flight of GSLV-MKIII-D2. It will have a lift-off mass of around 3,500 kg. It is configured with payloads to provide spot beams in Ku and Ka-band. The satellite will carry Q/V band payload, optical communication payload and geo high-resolution camera as technology demonstrators. The spacecraft will also carry a steerable Ka-beam over India. This spacecraft is planned to be launched in the first half of 2018.
GSAT-6A
CARTOSAT-3
Cartosat-3: It is an advanced agile satellite to obtain panchromatic and multispectral imagery with an operational life of 5 years. The payload has the capability of imaging with 0.25m GSD in Panchromatic 39 and 1m GSD in 4 Band Multispectral modes with a swath of 16km. Many new technologies/elements are being developed like highly agile structural platform, payload platform, higher rate data handling and transmission systems, advanced onboard computer and new power electronics, dual gimbal antenna, etc. The spacecraft readiness is expected by third quarter of 2018.
GISAT-1: It is a geo imaging satellite operating from geostationary orbit to provide high temporal resolution. The GISAT-1 payload can provide a spatial resolution in the range of 50 m to 1.5 km, depending on the spectral band (VNIR, SWIR, TIR) used. The satellite platform is a modified version of I-1K bus, with a power handling capability of around 2037 W during Equinox with a lift-off mass of 2100 kg. The spacecraft is planned to be positioned at 93.5o East longitude in the geostationary orbit of 36,000 km height to provide near real time images of the large areas of the country, under cloud free conditions, at frequent intervals. It is expected to provide selected sector-wise image every 5 minutes and entire Indian landmass image every 30 minutes at 50 m spatial resolution. The potential applications include quick monitoring of disasters, natural hazards and calamities, episodic events and any short term events. GISAT-1 will be realised for launch by June 2019.
RISAT-1A & 1B is a repeat mission of RISAT-1 with C-Band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) payload to facilitate cloud penetration and to carry out the other earth observation applications. The satellite is planned to be launched onboard PSLV into a Sun synchronous orbit at an altitude of 536 km. The satellite will carry a Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) Payload operating in C-band (5.35 GHz), which has the capability to penetrate clouds and take images during day/night. The data from RISAT-1A will be used for applications in the areas of agriculture, forestry, soil moisture & hydrology, oceanography and disaster management. RISAT-1A & 1B are planned to be launched in the year December 2018 and March 2021 respectively.
Seven CATOSAT-2 satellites are already in orbit. More terrorists hunting and surgical strikes on the way.
