The French can relax. There will be no shortage of Bouillabaisse or smoked herring in France if Indian space scientists from the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) chip in with their satellite-based information to home in on new schools of fish off the Atlantic coast.

The concept of using technology to enhance the fish catch has caught the fancy of the French Parliamentary Space Committee which visited facilities of the space agency here on Wednesday and Thursday.

“What struck us most about the Indian space programme are benefits from applications meant for the community, particularly that for fishermen. This is of interest to us because we only provide information on weather for fishermen. This will be of benefit for us,” Mr Pierre Lasbordes, Member of Parliament, and chairman of the space committee, told this newspaper.

The six-member group was also impressed by the fact that people in remote areas are provided healthcare through a satellite link. This model of tele-medicine would be tried in France with details scheduled for discussion during the forthcoming meeting between scientists of CNES, the space French agency, and Isro.:smokin: “There’s political will for more partnerships and it will reflect at this meeting,” he added.

Mr Pierre Lasbordes said the French are keen to sign up with Indian space scientists for studies aimed at early detection of calamities, measuring the temperature of surface of the ocean, and deep-space exploration.

This is for those who start talking about poor when theres a talk about funding ISROs future projects. Every project that ISRO undertakes, directly or indirectly goes to uplift the Indian society, so keep this in mind before ranting about ISROs funding.
 
well,if isro can build satellite to find fishes in deep ocean,i'm sure they can also build satellites to find submarines hidden in the ocean...
wat do you guys say
 
Russia could build a satellite for the detection and tracking of submarines from space, a defense industry spokesman said on Thursday.
Vladimir Boldyrev, of the Kosmonit science and technology center, said the group had developed a space satellite module that could carry out remote sensing of the sea and "detect submerged submarines."
"Hopefully, it will be tested in space as early as 2011," he said, adding that work on the module started over a decade ago.
He offered no indication as to when the new satellite would enter service with the Russian Armed Forces.
Boldyrev added that the dual-use module would be used for both defense and civilian purposes, in particular, providing meteorological data.

Yeah, OCEANSATs have such capability. Navy is actively using it.

I think navy needs a dedicated satellite that can be used for this purpose. Oceansat is not operated by navy. I think none of our armed forces directly operate a satellite. This is a huge disadvantage during peacetime and also war time when you need real time targeting and information. Isro will be launching satellites for the armed forces and I hope they will be operated by personnels from the armed forces not ISRO ppl.

We need this to counter Chinese threat. If we will get this, we won't need to compete China in submarine, just the satellites and P8i is what we need.

Yeah they need dedicated military satellite. If I am not mistaken ISRO will start launching military satellite for armed forces from this year starting from navy, followed by air force and army.
 
t will take a network of oceansats to detect and monitor subs. I dont think its practical as of now.
First of all there's no need to keep an eye on all the subs throughout the globe. Secondly, we are developing our own version of GPS and GLONASS, we can incorporate these features in our those satellites so that we can keep an eye on Asia and especially IO, AS and BOB.
