Apart from the Hysis, 30 other co-passenger satellites from eight countries
were also launched.
Hysis satellite developed by ISRO can see in 55 spectral or colour
bands from 630 km above ground.
Post ejection of Hysis, the rocket's fourth stage will be
restarted at 59.65 minutes after the lift off.
Queried about the Hysis' application for strategic/defence purposes Sivan said:“Our duty is
to build the satellite to identify the object clearly.
The Hysis satellite will be used for a wide
range of applications including agriculture, forestry, soil/geological environments, coastal zones and inland waters, etc.
