More than 400 scientists worked round-the-clock to provide support using earth observation and communication satellites during Operation Sindoor, ISRO chairperson V Narayanan said .
The space agency provided satellite data from its spacecraft for national security requirements, Narayanan said in his address at the 52nd National Management Convention of the All India Management Association (AIMA).
“During Operation Sindoor, all satellites were working 24×7 perfectly, enabling all requirements,” he said.
“Over 400 scientists were working 24×7, full-time and all the satellites used for earth observation and communication were working perfectly during the mission,” the ISRO chief added.
The role of the space sector in armed conflicts came into sharp focus during Operation Sindoor, which saw extensive use of drones and loitering munitions and tested the capabilities of air defence systems such as indigenously developed Akash Teer.
