India plans to launch 50 AI-based satellite in next five years

After an eventful yr when India’s lunar mission Chandryaan 3 reached the moon, the nation is now planning to launch 50 satellites, that are primarily based on Artificial Intelligence expertise, over the next five years for geo-intelligence gathering.

Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) chairman S Somanath on Thursday (December 28, 2023) stated the initiative will contain deploying a layer of satellites in numerous orbits and may have the aptitude to monitor troop actions and seize pictures of in depth areas.

Speaking at ‘Techfest’, an annual science and expertise occasion organised by the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, the ISRO chief was quoted as saying by Firstpost: “We have already configured 50 satellites to be realised in the next five years and that is going to be launched for India for supporting this explicit geo-intelligence over the next five years plus (interval).”

“We have discovered a means by which a layer of satellites may be launched ranging from GEO (geostationary equatorial orbit) to LEO (decrease earth orbit) and in addition very low earth orbit the place we’d like very essential evaluation of some scenario,” he was quoted as saying by the information portal.

Indian scientists stepped into the paradigm of glory and wrote a golden chapter in the historical past of the nation which shall be studied and draw inspiration to generations forward on August 23 when the Indian Space Research Organisation’s (ISRO)’s third lunar mission, Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft, landed on the South Pole of the Moon.

Interestingly, the South Pole stays an unchartered territory which scientists imagine might maintain very important reserves of frozen water and treasured components.
