Indian Satellite RISAT-1

India has advanced another step in Remote Sensing

 "The 71-hour countdown for the launch of 1,858 kg RISAT-1, India’s radar imaging satellite, the heaviest one to be lifted by ISRO’s Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle commenced this morning.

“The countdown for radar sensing satellite RISAT-1 started on Monday morning at 6.47 a.m. at Sriharikota. This is a 71- hour long countdown,” an ISRO spokesman told PTI.

The launch is scheduled at 5.47 a.m. on April 26 from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre at Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh."

Using GIS for disaster risk reduction

GENEVA, 24 April 2012 - Innovations in technology have made it easier in the last decade to reduce disaster risks and plan for the future. The internet combined with technologies, such as Geographic Information Systems (GIS), now makes it possible to better understand and communicate the social and physical complexities of disasters.

This was clearly echoed by Ambassador Betty E. King, permanent representative of the United States to the United Nations Office in Geneva, in April at the conference 'GIS for the United Nations and the International Community'.

"Technology is a valuable tool that has the potential to transform the way we work, and it also can deliver cost efficiencies, increase transparency, and make an organization more relevant to what is happening around the world in real time," said Ambassador King in her keynote address.

"Today, the world faces many challenges: climate change, famine and drought, global epidemics, violent conflict and persistent poverty. Technology such as GIS offers the possibility of visual analysis and allows us to see political boundaries, population trends, and socioeconomic differences. It also offers us the ability to acquire and verify facts."
