New Delhi - India now has a spy eye in the sky after its
successful launch of Israeli made spy satellite. ISRO has confirmed
that the satellite has been successfully put into orbit. The
Satellite has all weather, day and night viewing capability.
India's smaller rocket the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV)
will put it in orbit. The satellite promises to have many
advantages over the current ones.
The government says it will use the Israeli satellite to predict
floods, cyclones, and help forecast paddy yields. But apart from
that, it will add some punch in monitoring hostile
neighbours.
The satellite can take close up pictures from its perch of over 500
kilometers above Earth of objects as small as a motorcycle.
