The primary goal of the 380-kg HysIS, whose mission life is five years, is to study the earth's surface in visible near infrared and shortwave infrared regions of the electromagnetic spectrum.
India's first space earth observation satellite Hyperspectral imaging satellite (HySIS) launched by ISRO on November 29 has sent its first image, covering parts of Lakhpat area in Gujarat.
The image from the HySIS satellite which can be used in wide-ranging areas including agriculture, soil survey and environmental monitoring, was acquired at the National Remote Sensing Centre on Sunday, the ISRO said.
Sources in the city-headquartered Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) said the agency was satisfied with the quality of the image sent by HySIS.
