ISRO to
develop full-fledged hyperspectral imaging satellite
A new set of future satellites called hyperspectral
imaging satellites is set to add teeth to the way India is gleaned from about
600 km in space. The HySIS satellite has
critical chip called an “optical imaging detector array’” indigenously
developed by ISRO. Its launch will allow ISRO to enter
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) says it
plans to launch a full-fledged niche Earth observation (EO) satellite — called
the Hyperspectral Imaging Satellite or HySIS — using a critical chip it has
developed.
ISRO is endeavouring to enter the domain of
operational hyperspectral imaging from earth orbit" with a satellite that
can see in 55 spectral or colour bands from 630 km above ground
ISRO for first
time had tried out hyspex imaging technology in an 83-kg IMS-1 experimental
satellite in May 2008.
The same year, it also had mounted hyperspectral camera on Chandrayaan-1 and used to map lunar mineral resources. Globally so far, very few space agencies have such a satellite.
