LIST OF SATELLITES LAUNCHED BY ISRO
2019
RISAT-2B:
It is an earth observation spy satellite. It is dubbed as an all-weather 'spy' satellite because it can take pictures of earth in day, night and cloudy weather.
RISAT-1:
It was launched In 2012. Radar Satellite-1 (RISAT-1) enables imaging of the surface features during both day and night under all weather conditions.
EMISAT (436 kg) :
It is used for Electromagnetic spectrum measurement. It is the country’s first electronic surveillance satellite. It also has a special altimeter called ‘AltiKa’ that works in the Ka-band microwave region of the spectrum.
GSAT-31 (2536 kg) :
India’s telecommunication satellite. It will provide continuity to operational services on some of the in-orbit satellites.
Microsat-R :
It is an imaging satellite, is meant for military purposes.
Kalamsat-V2 (1.26 kg):
It is world's lightest satellite, made by Indian students,
