Just for photoshop practice? Just to see if everyone was paying attention? There is a very convinci...

I heard 2/3 yrs back that ISRO had plans to place a SAR on one of the INSAT for aerosol studies to know the environmental degradations. Don't know the current status of the project. Also some friends from ISRO tell me that they point the Remote Sensing satellite cameras to stars for calibration purp...
