Geo Imaging Satellite or GISAT is an Indian imaging satellite class for geostationary orbit with a high temporal resolution, meant for providing near real time imaging with fast revisit capability and real time monitoring.[9] Two identical satellites will provide resolution in the range of 42 to 318 m.[1][10] It will carry multi-spectral (Visible and Near-InfraRed, and Short Wave-InfraRed), multi-resolution (42 to 318 m) imaging instruments.[11] The first satellite; EOS-03 (GISAT-1) was launched on 12 August 2021 but failed to reach orbit as cryogenic upper stage of GSLV could not ignite.

Imaging capabilities[]

The GISAT-1 in deployed configuration.

GISATs will image in multi-spectral and hyper-spectral bands to provide near real-time pictures of large areas of the country, under cloud-free conditions, at frequent intervals which is, selected field image in every 5 minutes and entire Indian landmass image every 30 minutes at 42 m spatial resolution.[1]

Features of GISAT-1 are:

Imaging capabilities of GISAT-1 [1]
Band Channels Ground Resolution(m) Range(μm)
Multispectral (VNIR) 6 42 0.45 – 0.875
Hyperspectral (VNIR) 158 318 0.375 – 1.0
Hyperspectral (SWIR) 256 191 0.9 – 2.5

Launch schedule[]

The first launch of GISAT failed to orbit due to an issue with its GSLV Mk II's third stage. The second launch is planned for 2022.
