ISRO planning its 1st satellite control base at North Pole
ISRO is reportedly planning to set up a satellite ground control station at the North Pole for a "14-orbit coverage" to efficiently download data from India's Earth-observing satellites. ISRO already has two ground stations, IMGEOS at Telangana's Shadnagar built in 2011, and AGEOS in Antarctica. The space agency would also install a second antenna in AGEOS to aid the project.
