ISRO's New Eye: Anvesha Boosts India's Space Surveillance
12 Jan
Summary
- ISRO's PSLV-C62 mission launched the advanced Anvesha satellite today.
- The Anvesha satellite enhances India's surveillance and monitoring capabilities.
- Hyperspectral imaging from Anvesha aids border security and defense.
ISRO launched its PSLV-C62 mission today from Sriharikota, deploying the powerful Anvesha (EOS-N1) satellite into orbit. This hyperspectral Earth-observation satellite is designed to significantly enhance India's capabilities in space-based surveillance and monitoring.
The Anvesha satellite utilizes advanced hyperspectral imaging across hundreds of narrow spectral bands, providing unprecedented detail for material identification. This technology is crucial for bolstering national security, enabling precise detection of hidden threats along borders, monitoring coastal activities, and supporting environmental studies.
This launch also carried 15 smaller satellites, highlighting the growing participation of India's private space sector. The successful deployment marks a significant step in advancing India's strategic space assets, with applications expected in defense and critical infrastructure monitoring.
