India will launch a spy satellite from Sriharikota spaceport on April 20 primarily to keep an eye on its borders round-the-clock and help the Government in anti-infiltration and anti-terrorist operations, a PTI report said. The 300-kg radar-imaging satellite has been built by Israel and is set to blast-off on board India’s home-grown rocket, the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV). It will be positioned 550 km above the earth. Given the sensitiveness of the venture, the Indian Space Research Organisation is tight-lipped over the mission, not giving out much detail, the report added.
