Two of the Satellites are made by students of Indian Universities
20 SATTELITES LAUNCHED IN 26 MI
Use of Sattelites:
1. CARTOSAT (INDIA): Cartographic application, coastal land use, monitoring road network.and water distribution
2. SATYABHAMASAT(INDIA): Collect data on green House gases..
3.SWAYAM (INDIA) : Providing point to poiunt messaging services to HAM Community.
