Chennai, May 15 (UNI) All the satellites of ISRO functioned effectively during the

Operation Sindoor that led to tensions in Indo-Pak ties following firing at the borders,

ISRO Chairman V Narayanan said today.

Talking to reporters at the airport here, Dr Narayanan, while confirming the May 18

launch of RISAT-1B that would image the Indian borders, said the satellite is equipped

with advanced features that will allow it to explore and monitor most of the Earth’s surface.

“The upcoming PSLV-C61/RISAT-1B radar imaging satellite launch mission is of great

importance. It will enable us to detect and observe a wide range of objects on Earth”,

he said.

The EOS-09 (RISAT-1B) will provide high-resolution radar imagery, especially of India's

border regions.

Stating that India has made remarkable strides in the space sector, he said “During the

India-Pakistan border attack, all our satellites functioned effectively. "

"Today, we are equipped with one of the best cameras on the Moon—our technology

surpasses many other countries in terms of resolution and capability,” he said.

He also said ISRO’s satellite technology is serving multiple sectors, including television,

telephony, telecommunications, and national security.

"Every satellite we have launched so far is working well. We are developing and deploying

space assets that meet the needs of our country and our people", he said.
