India's spy satellite all set to keep a tab on Pakistan, China .

[godsavetheworld]

1)Stop treating China as your potential enemy number one or actual enemy number one. Stop anti-China propaganda in various levels. It is truly pathetic that many of you apparently haven't realized how important to make your north neighbor as a friend, not a foe. Don't be fooled by your politicians.

History speaks for itself. Enimity is mutual. The onus of friendship lies on China as much as it lies on India.

3) Solve Kashmir problem via various channels ASAP.

Kashmir is a sovereign part of India. Kashmir will not be negotiated at any price be it a failed Kargil, or repeated infiltrations. If it be our blood that is needed to save Kashmir, we'll organize a bloodbank.

4) Render your vast mass with literacy, food and health care. So they'll learn that to be respected, they have to respect

Stick to the topic, and dont derail it like you always do. There are several threads regarding this, if you really have to make a point reactivate your favourite.

Pakistan doesnt have the kind of space program India has, so there is no way it can operate such sophisticated space warfare.

Acquiring an ASAT wont give Pakistani's an upper hand at all. Prior to the launch, we fought and won 4 wars, all the intel gathered was via Israeli/Russian/Canadian Satellites. Even if you choose to destry one of our satellities there is no way, you will dare to destroy those of Canadians or Russians.

And by the way, save yourself from Taliban first.

Without answering to the nonsense that you just posted, let me tell you something acquiring an ASAT will give just the capability we need to take the **** out of the sky, be it yours or belongs to your Israeli masters. And yes once a conflict start we will dare things you haven't even thought of in your wildest of dreams.
By the way which war did you won apart from 71, is that what you are told at school. Get over your wet dreams.

Rightly depicted.

But who sets the fire in the ring? It’s none other than India itself.

Instead of creating problems and then try to solve them, wouldn’t it be smarter to stop creating the problem in the first place?

These are simple steps to stop creating the problems:

1)Stop treating China as your potential enemy number one or actual enemy number one. Stop anti-China propaganda in various levels. It is truly pathetic that many of you apparently haven't realized how important to make your north neighbor as a friend, not a foe. Don't be fooled by your politicians.

2) Resolutely abandon your imperialistic mentality (perhaps inherited from imperial Great British) while dealing with your neighbors, even though most of your neighbors are weaker and smaller than you.

3) Solve Kashmir problem via various channels ASAP.

4) Render your vast mass with literacy, food and health care. So they'll learn that to be respected, they have to respect.

Well, point taken. We do consider ( & expect) China to be a friend. But then there's no harm keeping an eye on friend.
2) Resolutely abandon your imperialistic mentality (perhaps inherited from imperial Great British) while dealing with your neighbors, even though most of your neighbors are weaker and smaller than you.

Nothing imperialistic at all Sir, only survival. A look at the mess our neighbour is in will underscore the necessity of what India does.

3) Solve Kashmir problem via various channels ASAP.

It was solved when Hari Singh signed the instrument.

4) Render your vast mass with literacy, food and health care. So they'll learn that to be respected, they have to respect.

Thank you indeed for sound advice.. point taken. B]

Taking out a sat is considered the same as a nuclear attack. You dont do it. Secondly, you need to have realtime coordinates of the sat in question. Thirdly, India can just take the pictures from US, Israeli or Russian sats. So thats really not an issue.

And all this is ofcourse, assuming that you develop the ASAT capability, something that is not feasible now or in the near future for Pakistan.

It will be worth it if you can offer the same advice to one of your own "Godsavetheworld". Because he too is derailing the thread with comments like save yourself from the taliban first.

I agree, GodSavetheWorld, I request you to not go offtopic as well. Lets stick the debate around the title of the thread.

India had earlier deployed TES(Technology Experimental Satellite) in 2001. It had the capability of 1m resolution and was developed by India itself. But it was not for military use.

RISAT-2 on the contrary is specifically for military use. But is also capable of undertaking civilian duties in Disasted Management. However, DM is its secondary aim.

Spy satellite RISAT takes off from Sriharikota- ET Cetera-News By Industry-News-The Economic Times

NEW DELHI: Aiming to enhance India's defence surveillance capabilities, ISRO on Monday morning launched its first Radar Imaging Satellite (RISAT)
from Sriharikota.

As per specifications, RISAT is different from previous remote sensing satellites as it uses Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), equipped with many antennas to receive signals that are processed into high-resolution pictures.

The SAR, developed by Israel Aerospace Industries, gives RISAT defence capabilities.

By Salil Jose in Sriharikota

The Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV-C-12) placed two satellites into orbit on Monday morning.

It put into orbit the Radar Imaging Satellite (RISAT-2) and Anusat.

RISAT-2 is India's first all-weather spy satellite, while Anusat is an experimental mini communication satellite developed by Anna University in Chennai.

"Both the satellites have been delivered into the orbits," Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) Chairman Madhavan Nair announced minutes after the PSLV-C-12 blasted off from Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota at 6:45 am.

RISAT-2 will enhance India`s capability in the management of disasters such as floods, cyclones and landslips. It weighs 300 kg and has an all-weather, 24-hour capability for imaging the earth. It can be used for defence purposes also since it has a synthetic aperture radar (SAR), built by the Israel Aerospace Industries.

RISAT-2 has a life span of three years.

The Anna University-developed Anusat will carry out drought and wasteland monitoring, urban planning and other studies. It weighs 40 kg and has a life span of one year. The Madras Institute of Technology, College of Engineering, Chennai and Pune University will be the users of the micro-education satellite.

Now i do believe that after the launch of this satellite, it has become even more important that we acquire an Anti Sat capability if not then in an event of a conflict Indians will have an upper hand in terms of real time intelligence gathering and modern day war fares depends upon how accurate your Intel is.

Why do you think distructively.. please think constructively.. why dont you guys send in a satelite.. which might help you in detecting any advance threat or troop movements from india... if we develop something.. you think about destroying it..!!!!! See that kinda thinking is not good for a country.. we have send in a satlite to protect our borders.. and i would suggest that you compete us in development and progress and not in distruction.. it will be good for the people of both countries..!!!

Any ways congragulations to my fellow country men.. for a succesful launch.. keeping fingers crossed for its successful operation...!!!

Spy satellite RISAT takes off from Sriharikota


SRIHARIKOTA, AP: Aiming to bolster India's defence surveillance capabilities, ISRO on Monday successfully launched its first
all-weather spy satellite that will help security agencies keep a watch on the movements on the borders, from its spaceport here.

The PSLV-C12, carrying 300-kg Radar Imaging Satellite (RISAT-2) and 40-kg micro educational satellite ANUSAT lifted off from ISRO's Satish Dhawan space Centre here at 6:45am and placed into 550 km orbit around earth.

The Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle
, weighing 230 tonnes at the time of launch, soared into a clear sky from the spaceport here, about 90 km north of Chennai.

At the end of the 48-hour countdown, the 44-meter tall four-stage PSLV-C12 blasted off from the second launch pad with the ignition of the core first stage.

RISAT has all-weather capability to take images of the Earth and would also be beneficial in mapping and managing natural disasters, such as floods and landslides, besides amplifying defence surveillance capabilities of the nation. It would also help keep track of ships at seat that could pose a threat.

As per specifications, RISAT is different from previous remote sensing satellites as it uses Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), equipped with many antennas to receive signals that are processed into high-resolution pictures.

The SAR, developed by Israel Aerospace Industries, gives RISAT defence capabilities.

ANUSAT is the first satellite developed by an Indian university (Anna University), which would demonstrate the technologies
related to message storing and forward operations.

University sources said scores of students and faculty from different streams had worked on this satellite for the last six years.

ANUSAT is a store-and-forward communication satellite that will help transfer confidential academic materials, including exam question papers, to prevent question paper leakages. It will also help monitor drought and wasteland, urban planning and other studies.

This is the 15th flight of ISRO's workhorse PSLV, which had launched 30 satellites (14 for India and 16 for foreign countries) into a variety of orbits since 1993.
