After a highly successful launch of the Agni V, India is now ready to launch its own 'spy satellite' RISAT-1. It will be powered by the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) from Sriharikota on Thursday at 5.47 am. The indigenously made satellite will have day and night viewing capability and will be able to see through cloud cover.

Tamil Nadu will have special reason to cheer on Thursday when an Indian rocket puts Radar Imaging Satellite (Risat-1) into orbit and the remote sensing satellite starts performing, as a local woman is directing the project for India's heaviest microwave satellite.
