RISAT-1 is ready and was just successfully launched into orbit by ISRO's workhorse, PSLV.RISAT (Radar Imaging Satellite) is a series of Indianradar imagingreconnaissance satellites built by ISRO. They provide all-weather surveillance using synthetic aperture radars (SAR).
The RISAT series are the first all-weather earth observation satellites from ISRO. Previous Indian observation satellites relied primarily on optical and spectral sensors which were hampered by cloud cover.
After the November 26, 2008 Mumbai attacks, the launch plan was modified to launch RISAT-2 before RISAT-1, since the indigenous C-band SAR to be used for RISAT-1 was not ready. RISAT-2 used an Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) X-band SAR sensor similar to the one employed on TecSAR.

Congratulations.
Good video on RISAT-1 Satellite launched today.
Its really great success by ISRO ...
No launch bar on the Naval Tejas for the catapault shuttle?
Model of the arrestor hook
Naval Tejas will be a one seater, unlike the 2 seater trainer.
