CREATIVE VIEWS #ISRO lounches satellite HysIS

India on Thursday (29/11/2018) successful launched its latest earth observation satellite HysIS, the date from which can be used in wide-ranging areas including agriculture, from the Satish Dhawan Space Center here onboard ISRO's trusted workhouse Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV).
                                                         
                                     The rocket, PSLV-C43, successfully injected state-of-the-art HysIS and 30 others co-passenger satellites from eight countries into their designated orbits.

                                     The rocket, lifted off majestically into cloudy  skies in a burst of orange flames at 9:57 am from the first launched pad at this spaceport at the end of the 28 hour countdown.

                                    The Hyper Spectral Imaging Satellite(HysIS) was placed in its orbit 17 minutes and 27 seconds after lift-off while the 30 co-passengers satellites were drooped into the designated orbit one by one after an hour.

                                   This satellite developed by ISRO. It has several uses: 

• The satellite's data will be useful in many fields, including agriculture, forestry, soil survey, geology, coastal zone studies, inland water studies, environmental monitoring and pollution detection from industries.

                                  ISRO chief K Sivan and space agency's scientists broke into cheer as the earth observation satellite was injected into sun-synchronous polar orbit. According to the official, the fourth stage engine was cut off after the earth observation satellite separated at an altitude of 636.3 km exactly 17.27 minutes after the rocket lifted off....
