- Abstract
The article focuses on the significance of radar imaging satellite-1 (RISAT-1) in the Earth Observation Programme of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). It informs that RISAT-1 is capable of observing the Earth at any time because it carries its own source of illumination and the satellite has C-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR). It also mentions that the satellite can be operated in single or dual polarization modes which will provide high imaging resolutions.
