Cartosat -2 Series Satellite
The Cartosat-2 series satellite is
the primary satellite carried by PSLV-C37. This satellite is similar to the
earlier four satellites of the Cartosat-2 series. After its injection into a
505 km polar Sun Synchronous Orbit by PSLV-C37, the satellite was brought to
operational configuration following which it began providing regular remote
sensing services using its Panchromatic and Multi-spectral cameras.
The imageries from Cartosat-2 series
satellite will useful for cartographic applications, urban and rural
applications, coastal land use and regulation, utility management like road
network monitoring, water distribution, creation of land use maps, change
detection to bring out geographical and manmade features and various other Land
Information System (LIS) and Geographical Information System (GIS)
applications.
