Launch of RISAT rescheduled
T.S. Subramanian
CHENNAI: The launch of Radar Imaging Satellite (RISAT) by the Indian Space Research Organisation’s (ISRO) Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV-C12) from Sriharikota has been rescheduled to take place in the third or fourth week of April. The PSLV C-12 was to originally put it in orbit in the first week of April.
The launch has been postponed because of the under-estimation of the time-schedule to build the rocket, informed sources in the ISRO said. The RISAT, from Israel, is a remote-sensing satellite that can take pictures of the earth, day and night.
The PSLV C-12 will also put in orbit Anusat from Anna University, Chennai. Anusat, weighing about 38 kg, will be used for amateur communication. It is the first satellite to be built by a university in India.
