ISRO, the Indian space research institute, will launch the most different types of satellites in space next January. This type of satellite, which will be launched for the first time, will stay in one geostationary orbit in one place only, keeping an eye on India's borders.

The satellite, called GSAT-1, has five types of cameras installed and two satellites - GSAT-1 and GSAT-2 - will be released from this satellite. The satellite is expected to arrive in Bengaluru on December 23 and will be launched into space around January 15, 2020, according to reports.

The satellite will be launched at the Satish Dhawan Space Center at Sriharikota or at the launching center of French Guiana and will send a picture of the whole country every half hour so that it can be constantly informed about Pakistan's activities.

If the satellite is to be launched at Harikota, then the GSLV-MKTU rocket will be used for launch and if it is launched from French Guiana, it will be released with an Ariane rocket.

The GSAT-1 features a powerful pneumatic camera mounted on a CartOSAT satellite that will take a photo of the country every 30 minutes. Apart from this, the rest of the cameras will also take photos and send them to ISRO Center.

The satellite will be sending real time photos during natural disasters to help save more people. In addition to the satellite is the Ritchie-Krasnoy 700mm telescope.

This telescope is also fitted with a Cartosat satellite, which allows surgical strikes and air strikes in Balakot. In addition to the telescope, the satellite has four other cameras that will be useful for making maps, managing disasters, doing structural development work and getting weather information.
