Cartosat-2 satellite imagery
Cartosat-2 satellite was launched on January 10, 2007 aboard PSLV-C7 carrier booster from Shriharikota Cosmodrome. The satellite was set into sun-synchronous orbit at the height of 630 km, enabling surveying of any area each 4 days.
Cartosat-2 was developed by ISRO engineers and intended for optical surveying in high details with better then 1m spatial resolution. Taking into account ability of orbital maneuvering the satellite may revisit a special site next day after the first survey, constantly resurveying period is 4 days. Active mission life is about 5 years.
Cartosat-2 satellite imagery applications
- Creation and refreshing of topographical maps and special plans up to 1:5000 scale.
- Assessing and survey of drill site and transportation infrastructure facilities.
- Agricultural fields assessing, creation of land use maps and precision farming.
- Topographical background refreshing for the generation of the perspective urban developing layouts and metropolitan region planning diagrams.
- Inventory and monitoring transport, energy and information communications condition.
