ISRO is making India proud these days with their advancements in space science and technology. Today, they have successfully injected a satellite named RISAT-1 into orbit, shocking the world for its 'spying' capabilities.
RISAT-1 is the first microwave radar imaging satellite launched by India and the heaviest satellite weighing more than 1800 kgs. This remote sensing satellite can penetrate through clouds to take high resolution images of earth, and it starts work by May 1st. ISRO officials are saying that this is not a spy satellite, but will do day and night surveillance like no other satellites can do.
The world is shocked because this satellite can photograph the places where even airplanes and other unmanned vehicles can go at a very higher resolution
