Later, OOS inherited lead responsibility for a number of important and well-established observational programmes in the northern Indian Ocean. Due to the remoteness of the vast open oceans, there have been challenges to continuous observation of the ocean, [3] which was later harmonized by in-situ and satellite based observations.
2.5 m deployable Cassegrain antenna System operating in dual frequency bands (S and Ka bands) 1.5 m fixed Cassegrain Antenna System operating in Ku and Ka frequency bands. The deployable antenna system will interface with the satellite by means of a deployable, pointing and tracking mechanism along with a S band rotary joint. [6]
