Sensor Systems • Television Cameras operating in visible (0.6 micron) and near-infrared (0.8 micron); to collect data related to hydrology, forestry and geology. • Satellite microwave radiometer (SAMIR) operating at 19 GHz and 22 GHz for study of ocean-state, water vapor, liquid water content in the atmospher, etc.

• ISRO (director) • • Dr. Shiv Prasad Kosta (born 25 April 1931) is a space scientist, educationist and a technocrat and currently the Group Director of Educational and family background [ ] Kosta was born 25 April 1931 in Garha, a part of Sanskardhani in Jabalpur. He belonged to a poverty-stuck family of a farmer. While talking about his early education, Kosta Sir has completed his primary, middle, secondary and higher secondary education from Government Technical High School Kala Niketan. Kosta passed his high school technical examination from Government Technical High School Jabalpur in 1952 and joined Government Science College (formerly known as Robertson College), where he obtained M.Sc. in physics and electronics from Sagar University of M.P in 1958. [ citation needed] Professional career as engineer and scientist [ ] Kosta started with his professional career as a research assistant in 1958 by joining Ministry of Education in New Delhi through UPSC. In the year 1962, he travelled to Germany and received scholarship from Indo-Germany exchange to deliver his services and explore technological skills in Stuttgart and Munich. Here, he worked as development engineer for a period of about one year, from 1961 to 1962. He proceeded with his work as engineer in Andrew Corporation of Chicago from 1962 to 1963. In 1964, Kosta joined National Physics Laboratory of India in New Delhi as junior scientist and worked for a period of 3 months. After this, September 1964, he deliver...

Nearly 4 years after its first indigenous satellite, Bhaskara-1. It was launched on 7 June 1979 from the Volgograd Space Center (Russia). And it weighed 442 kg and had a lifespan of only 1 year. The satellite installed in the low earth orbit was a big success for ISRO. In the 75th year of independence under the Amrit Mahotsav series, today, we will know how Bhaskara 1 helped India make its mark in space. source: space.skyrocket.de Bhaskara-1 Satellite After launching the Aryabhata satellite in 1975, ISRO got another big success in the year 1979. Bhaskara-1, the first experimental remote sensing satellite built by ISRO, was launched on 7 June 1979 in present-day Russia. The satellite was launched by the C1 Intercosmos Vehicle. It was India’s first attempt to send an experimental remote sensing satellite into space. ISRO got great success in this very first attempt. After Aryabhata, this satellite was also named after the great Indian mathematician Bhaskara. The main purpose The main objective of the Bhaskara 1 satellite was to collect data on hydrology, oceanography, forestry, and telemetry. This satellite was India’s first Low Orbit Earth Observation satellite. According to the information, its weight at the launch was 442 kg. The satellite was equipped with a TV camera and a three-band microwave radiometer. The function of the television camera sensor was to collect data related to hydrology, forestry, and science. Talk about the same thing, moreover, the work of the micr...

What next? question started coming even before the launch of Aryabhata and it was decided to convert Aryabhata to a Remote Sensing satellite, with minimum changes as remote sensing was seen as a major application of space technology, affecting the life of the people. Satellite for Earth Observation (SEO) was to employ a camera in two bands and a three-channel Microwave Radiometer. SEO-1 was launched on 7 June 1979 and given the name Bhaskara 1. Simultaneously, one of the biggest societal experiments was conducted by ISRO in the project Satellite Instructional Television Experiment (SITE) by beaming specially created education cum entertainment programs through a ATS-F satellite of NASA. Ariane Passenger Pay Load Experiment (APPLE) was undertaken to develop the 3-axis stabilised communication satellite to conduct experiments in satellite communication technology and to create needed infrastructure. APPLE was a technology as well as a schedule challenge. Cite this chapter Goel, P.S. (2022). The Experimental Era of Spaced-Based Services. In: Making of a Satellite Centre.
