ISRO’s imaging satellite HysIS
- HysIS, the country's first hyperspectral imaging satellite for advanced earth observation, is slated for launch on Thursday from Sriharikota.
- About 30 small satellites of foreign customers will be ferried on the PSLV launcher, numbered C-43, the Indian Space Research Organisation has announced. They will go into an orbit different from that of HysIS.
A hyperspectral imaging camera in space can provide well-defined images that can help identify objects on earth far more clearly than regular optical or remote sensing cameras
