10 Satellites Working to Ensure Citizens’ Safety: ISRO
As tensions between India and Pakistan continue to escalate, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has been working tirelessly to ensure the safety and security of Indian citizens. According to ISRO chairman V Narayanan, the organization has been utilizing a fleet of 10 satellites to monitor and protect the country’s borders, coastlines, and national interests.
In an interview, Chairman Narayanan emphasized the crucial role that satellite technology plays in maintaining national security. “We have to monitor our 7,000 km seashore areas. Without satellite and drone technology, we can’t achieve many things,” he said.
The 10 satellites, which are continuously working around the clock, are equipped with advanced sensors and cameras that provide high-resolution images of the country’s borders, coastlines, and internal areas. These images are then analyzed by ISRO’s team of experts to identify potential threats and take necessary action to mitigate them.
One of the primary responsibilities of these satellites is to monitor India’s extensive coastline, which stretches for over 7,000 kilometers. This is no easy task, given the vast expanse of water and the numerous islands, bays, and headlands that dot the coastline. However, the satellites are equipped with specialized sensors that can detect even the smallest changes in the coastline, allowing ISRO to track any potential threats to national security.
In addition to monitoring the coastline, the satellites are also used to track the movement of people and goods across the country. This includes monitoring the movement of vehicles, boats, and aircraft, as well as tracking the movement of people through border areas. This information is then used to identify potential security threats and take necessary action to prevent them from reaching their intended targets.
ISRO’s satellite technology is also used to monitor natural disasters, such as floods, earthquakes, and cyclones. These satellites are equipped with specialized sensors that can detect even the smallest changes in the environment, allowing ISRO to quickly respond to natural disasters and provide critical information to emergency responders.
In a recent development, ISRO is scheduled to launch another surveillance satellite on May 18. This satellite, which is expected to be a major boost to the country’s national security, will provide even more advanced capabilities for monitoring and tracking potential threats.
In conclusion, ISRO’s fleet of 10 satellites is working around the clock to ensure the safety and security of Indian citizens. These satellites are equipped with advanced sensors and cameras that provide high-resolution images of the country’s borders, coastlines, and internal areas, and are used to monitor and track potential threats to national security. As tensions between India and Pakistan continue to escalate, the importance of ISRO’s satellite technology cannot be overstated.
