Cartosat-2

The Indian Remote Sensing Satellite IRS Cartosat-2 has been successfully launched into polar orbit on January 10, 2007. The payload was lifted by the PSLV-C7 from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Sriharikota.

Cartosat-2 is highly agile and can be operated in different imaging modes. E.g. in spot mode, imaging in North-South direction on either side of the track, in paint-brush mode, employing roll and pitch tilt to increase the total swath, and in multi-view mode, imaging one strip three times with different look angles.
