| '''Radar Imaging Satellite-1A''', or '''RISAT-1A''', is a planned [[remote sensing]] satellite as a follow on to [[RISAT-1]] and with similar configuration. The satellite is being developed by [[Indian Space Research Organisation]] (ISRO) and it will be 6th in series of [[RISAT]] satellites. It will be a land based mission with primary application in terrain mapping and analysis of land, ocean and water surface for soil moisture.<ref name="ceos_1">{{cite web|url=http://ceos-sysdb.com/CEOS/db/db_instrument_low_level.php?id=790|title=CEOS Instrument: Synthetic Aperature Radiometer (RISAT)|access-date=February 9, 2016}}</ref>
