Space sector startup, Sisir Radar Private Ltd has successfully tested its Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) fitted on a drone, said a senior company official. "The drone fitted with SAR was flown (on Friday) at a place called Sonarpur, about 50 km from Kolkata," Tapan Misra, Founding Director and Chief Scientist, Sisir Radar Private Ltd, told. Misra who was earlier a Director at the Space Applications Centre of Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has named his product as 'Rabbit SAR' as its antennas are long like the ears of a rabbit. According to him, it was a windy day and the SAR drone was flown for a short period of time. According to him, technology wise it is a novel one. The SAR is designed at L band with 1 metre resolution.
