EMISAT mission and its Significance:

The Eelectromagnetic Intelligence Satellite (EMISAT)  this is a military intelligence satellite , it was developed by DRDO, it took 8 years to build it.EMISAT is primarily based on the famous Israeli spy satellite called SARAL or (Satellite with Argos and ALtika), and inherits its SSB-2 bus protocol for conducting sharp electronic surveillance across the length and breadth of India.The satellite would serve as the country’s roving device for detecting and gathering electronic intelligence from enemy radars across the borders as its circles the globe roughly pole to pole every 90 minute or so. It detects electronic signals on ground, especially hidden enemy radars. This capacity will help India in surgical warfare.EMISAT has been developed under DRDO’s Project Kautilya which aims to boost India's space surveillance capacity.

Our Opinion:

Out of 47 operational satellite, India currently has six to eight satellite, which are used entirely for military purposes.India is well on its way to establishing itself as a space superpower, with multiple ambitious yet successful missions over the course of time. Today, we can add another feather to our cap with the successful execution of the PSLV-C45 mission.
