NVS03 in Geosynchronous orbit 🚀🚀🚀View quoted post on X
Every November, Delhi-NCR turns into a literal gas chamber, and like clockwork, the institutional blame game resumes while citizens breathe AQI 380+ poison air.
Step outside in Noida today and you can barely see the metro tracks 200m away. The sun is reduced to a dull white blur through stagnant chemical haze.
Here is an uncomfortable question we need to ask our policy and space agencies:
Why is our stubble burning enforcement still heavily reliant on standard Low Earth Orbit (LEO) polar-orbiting satellite passes ( @NASA VIIRS / MODIS) that only cross northwest India at fixed daily windows (~1:30 PM)?
Recent remote sensing studies (including SAC/ @isro and NASA research) prove that farm fires have systematically shifted their diurnal window: burning peaks late in the afternoon (3:30 PM – 5:30 PM), precisely after polar LEO satellites pass overhead. It’s an open surveillance blind spot.
If India can operate world-class geostationary payloads (INSAT series), why aren't continuous thermal infrared feeds from GEO and high-revisit LEO constellations operationalized into real-time, zero-latency enforcement dashboards?
We have the launch capabilities, the space tech, and the compute. What we clearly lack is inter-state political will and year-round accountability.
Until technology drives direct administrative consequences rather than post-facto PR denials, NCR will choke every winter.

Weaponised Imagery: How Maxar’s Satellite Data May Be Helping Pakistan And What India Can Do About It swarajyamag.com/defence/weapon…View quoted post on X
“India used Maxar’s 30-centimeter imagery for Operation Sindoor due to limited domestic capability. Maxar sells identical data to Pakistan via BSI, owned by Obaidullah Syed. Analysts urge India to leverage market influence and seek US restrictions, citing NGA’s Ukraine suspension.”
