GISAT 1 is the first of two Earth Observatory (EO) satellites that will be launched to the geostationary orbit of around 36,000 kilometre.

The satellite will carry multi-spectral (visible, near infra-red and thermal) multi-resolution ( 50 m to 1.5 km) imaging instruments. The satellite will also be equipped with five types of multispectral cameras. These cameras will provide the real-time images of the country.

The satellite will provide constant surveillance over the border of the country and will observe any changes in the geographical area of the country.
