RISAT (Radar Imaging Satellite)

RISAT, or Radar Imaging Satellite, is a type of space-based platform equipped with synthetic aperture radar (SAR) to capture detailed images of Earth's surface regardless of weather or daylight conditions. Unlike optical satellites, RISAT can see through clouds and operate at night, making it valuable for applications like agriculture, disaster management, and surveillance. It uses radio waves to generate high-resolution images, providing critical data for analysis and decision-making. RISAT's ability to monitor land, coastlines, and infrastructure continuously enhances national security, resource management, and environmental monitoring efforts.
