Minesweeper in the sky: Satellite HysIS to detect landmines, save lives

The HysIS camera will work on a visible and near infrared band with a wavelength between 400 and 1400 nanometres (nm) and shortwave-infrared falling roughly between 1,400 and 3,000 nm. HysIS is better than the existing Indian earth observation satellites as it gives finer details of objects. The imager in HysIS can see earth in 55 spectral or colour bands.
