Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) had been helping in the protection and management of heritage sites across the country. This national project had been launched in association with the Union Ministry of Culture. Using the technology, a database of heritage sites and 3-D digital models of the sites was being generated.
ISRO Chairman A.S. Kiran Kumar said in Mysuru on Friday said the project would identify the protected zones of the heritage sites using satellite data and document them for conservation.
