ISRO said HysIS is an earth observation satellite developed by ISRO. “It is the primary satellite of the PSLV-C43 mission. The satellite will be placed in 636 km polar sun-synchronous orbit (SSO) with an inclination of 97.957 degrees. The mission life of the satellite is five years,” it said.
ISRO holds the record for launching the highest number of satellites in a single mission, which was 104 of them on February 15, 2017.
“HysIS is a very rare satellite with a super-sharp eye, and very few countries have indigenously mastered this technology,” ISRO Chairman K Sivan said. He said several countries are trying to send such hyper-spectral cameras into space but interpreting its result is not easy.
