Summary

The RISAT-2BR1 satellite, also known by its alternative name and payload identifier "RISAT-2BR1," was launched on December 11, 2019, from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SRILR) using a PSLV-QL launch vehicle. This Earth observation satellite, designed for radar imaging, is operated by ISRO, with the spacecraft's manufacturer also being ISRO. The satellite has dimensions of 2 meters in length and 1 meter in diameter, with a span of 5 meters due to its solar arrays or deployable components. It weighs 628 kilograms at launch and dry mass. RISAT-2BR1 is equipped with X-SAR equipment for radar imaging and uses solar panels along with batteries as power sources. Its mission duration is expected to last up to five years, serving the purpose of Earth observation through radar technology. The satellite's structure consists of a hexagonal cylindrical shape complemented by two panels and a dish antenna.
