The scientists from the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has successfully unfurled the antenna of radar imaging earth observation satellite RISAT-2BR1 on Thursday. The antenna of the satellite was unfurled after a day it was launched to its orbit by the Polar Satellite Launching Vehicle (PSLV).
” Today at 1400 hrs IST, Radia Rib Antenna of RISAT2BR1 spacecraft was successfully deployed in orbit. This complex technology involved unfurling and deployment of the 3.6 m antenna which was folded and stowed during launch. The deployment was completed in 9 mins and 12s” ISRO informed through its social media handle.
