You learn science by keeping your eyes and ears open and looking around at this world. The real inspiration of science, at least to me, has been essentially the love of nature,” said Dr R R Navalgund, Director of Space Application Centre-Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).
While speaking on ‘Eye in the Sky’ at Gujarat Science City here on Tuesday, Navalgund said, “Circling just a few hundred kilometres above the earth, remote sensing satellites can monitor all that is happening in skies and on the ground. From this vantage point in space, spacecraft’s cameras can cover vast areas.” The cameras can also capture startling close-up pictures.
Adding that the remote sensing and communication satellites are powerful tools in coping natural disasters, he said despite disasters striking country every year, focus among official agencies is lacking. He said, “The ISRO had established Disaster Management Support Programme for effective utilisation of satellites in dealing with natural disasters.
