Major payloads of Resourcesat-2 and Youthsat are 'made in Ahmedabad'


When Indian Space Research Organization(ISRO) launched Youthsat and Resourcesat-2 successfully on Wednesday morning, Ahmedabad based Space Application Centre(SAC) witnessed a jubilant atmosphere. This is because the main payloads of both important satellites are made at SAC, Ahmedabad.

On this link, you can access the detail of made in Ahmedabad ‘Limb Viewing Hyper Spectral Imager’ of Youthsat, while on these links(over the names) you can have much more detail on Resourcesat-2 and Youthsat both with brochure and photographs.

While Resourcesat-2 is useful for remote sensing, crop yield, disaster management and other related tasks, Youthsat is important to study an atmosphere above 80 plus km from earth.
