Defense news ,India :- In the lead-up to the highly anticipated consecration ceremony of the Ram temple, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has shared satellite imagery offering a bird's-eye view of the partially constructed sacred structure. The image, captured by the Indian Remote Sensing Cartosat satellite on December 16 and processed by the National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC), provides detailed insights into the ongoing construction of the Ram Mandir.
The Cartosat series, consisting of Indian Earth observation satellites developed and operated by ISRO, plays a crucial role in various applications, such as cartography, urban and rural planning, coastal land use regulation, and utility management. It supports tasks like road network monitoring, water distribution, creating land use maps, and change detection, contributing to Land Information System (LIS) and Geographical Information System (GIS) applications.
Among the series, Cartosat-3, launched in 2019, stands out as a third-generation, agile, and advanced satellite with high-resolution imaging capabilities. It provides Panchromatic imagery with an impressive 0.28m resolution and Multispectral imagery in four spectral bands, achieving a spatial resolution of 1.12 m over a nominal swath of approximately 17 Km. The satellite can steer up to +45° and +26 ° along and across the track, respectively.
The captured imagery gains additional significance as it not only showcases the progress of the Ram temple construction but also highlights the versatile applications of ISRO's satellite technology.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to preside over the 'pran pratishtha' ceremony during the grand consecration, officiated by a team of priests chosen nationwide and led by Lakshami Kant Dixit. Preceding this, on Friday, the idol of Ram Lalla was ceremoniously placed in the 'Garbha Griha' of the Ram temple, further marking important milestones in the temple's journey to completion.
