CARTOSAT-2B Sending High Quality Imagery

The CARTOSAT-2B satellite, which was successfully launched by PSLV-C15 on July 12, 2010, into a polar sun-synchronous orbit, is working satisfactorily. The initial phase of operations of the satellite has been successfully completed. The camera has been switched on, and images of high quality are being received.

Carto sat 2 can Even Capture Pictures such as By cycles and Mopeds.... Its resolution is to such a high degree, But why so much for a satellite which according to them would be used for City planning and better urbanization???

Because thats what people are told in our part of the world that we use Satellites with high resolution for town planning but the uses well can be anything

Better resolution for Better Planning, is it

Cartosat-2B sends pictures of Allahabad, Madurai​

VIEW FROM THE SKY:Cartosat-2B's image shows Allahabad, including a fort and the Triveni Sangam. (Right) An image of Madurai with the Meenakshi Temple seen in the centre.

Remote-sensing satellite Cartosat-2B has sent high quality images of the Indian landmass, including Allahabad in Uttar Pradesh and Madurai in Tamil Nadu.

The images were taken by the satellite's panchromatic camera, which has a high resolution of 0.8 metre. That is, it can image even small objects such as cycles and mopeds on the road, and sheep and cattle grazing on meadows.

The Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV-C15) of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) put Cartosat-2B and four other satellites in orbit on July 12. It was launched from Sriharikota.

P.S. Veeraraghavan, Director, Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC) in Thiruvananthapuram, said Cartosat-2B was in good health and that “it has taken a good number of pictures.”

He said the images of Madurai included the famous Meenakshi temple with its gopurams (towers), the railway junction and a running train, the airport with parked aircraft, and another temple situated in the centre of a tank.

The images of Allahabad showed a fort in the town and the Triveni Sangam.

The stacking up of the three stages of ISRO's Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV-F06) in the second launch pad at Sriharikota had begun on July 14 as planned, Mr. Veeraraghavan said. The GSLV-F06 would put in orbit a communication satellite called GSAT-5B.

The integration of the four stages of the PSLV-C16 will begin in the first launch pad in August. The rocket will put in orbit three satellites — Resourcesat – 2, Youthsat and a satellite from Singapore. Resourcesat-2 and Youthsat belong to India. Youthsat will carry a Russian payload as well.

The launch of GSLV-F06, according to the VSSC Director, would take place in October. The PSLV-C16 would lift off two weeks later.

our all satellites are for peaceful purpose.
its different thing that we can turn them to spy satellite but initial interest is peaceful.

Yeah but plans of different nature

HeHeHeHee, You guys sure are wicked. Why turn a poor benign PEACUFUL satellite into an ugly spy?
The eyes see what the brain knows, here also this studious urban planning satellite can only see defective roads or canals, it has no Brain(Software to see tanks or missiles)

Why would there be No brains to see tanks?? Well, its not Possible, it captures what ever it can to the distance as little as a Cycle.... May it be a Tank or Something else.... But its Not designed for such a role, but its not that it cannot perform that role, It will be another eye in the Sky for India
