|---|---|
| RISAT-2B | It is an earth observation spy satellite. It is dubbed as an all-weather 'spy' satellite because it can take pictures of earth in day, night and cloudy weather. |
| RISAT-1 | It was launched In 2012. Radar Satellite-1 (RISAT-1) enables imaging of the surface features during both day and night under all weather conditions. |
| EMISAT (436 kg) | It is used for Electromagnetic spectrum measurement. It is the country’s first electronic surveillance satellite. It also has a special altimeter called ‘AltiKa’ that works in the Ka-band microwave region of the spectrum. |
| GSAT-31 (2536 kg) | India’s telecommunication satellite. It will provide continuity to operational services on some of the in-orbit satellites. |
| Microsat-R | It is an imaging satellite, is meant for military purposes. |
| Kalamsat-V2 (1.26 kg) | It is world's lightest satellite, made by Indian students, |
