The full form of GISAT is Geo Imaging Satellite.
GISAT is a class of Indian imaging satellites designed for geostationary orbit. These satellites provide near real-time imaging with rapid revisit capabilities, facilitating real-time monitoring applications. This high temporal resolution is achieved by its geostationary position allowing it to constantly observe specific areas of the Earth.
Key aspects of GISAT include:
- Geostationary Orbit: Allows continuous monitoring of the Indian subcontinent.
- High Temporal Resolution: Enables frequent imaging of the same area.
- Real-time Monitoring: Supports applications like disaster management and resource monitoring.
