India will launch a spy satellite from Sriharikota spaceport on April 20 primarily to keep an eye on its borders round-the-clock and help the Government in anti-infiltration and anti-terrorist operations. The 300-kg radar-imaging satellite has been built by Israel and is set to blast-off on board India's home-grown rocket, the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV). This remote-sensing advanced imaging satellite, to be positioned 550 km above the earth, has all-weather capabilities. It carries Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) payload, which can take images during day, night and all weather conditions including under cloud cover, a capability that Indian satellites do not have. Given the sensitiveness of the venture, the Indian Space Research Organisation is tight-lipped over the mission, not giving out much details.
