Cartosat-3 : 2019

  • The PSLV-C47 will launch Cartosat-3 and 13 commercial nano-satellites into Sun Synchronous orbit from Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC), Sriharikota.
  • CARTOSAT-3 is a third generation agile advanced satellite having high resolution imaging capability.
  • CARTOSAT-3 would address the increased user’s demands for the large scale urban planning, rural resource and infrastructure development, coastal land use and land cover.
  • At 1,625 kg, Cartosat-3 is unusually heavy and more than double the mass of the previous eight in its class
  • The mission life of CARTOSAT-3 would be for five years
  • One of Cartosat-3’s cameras offers a ground resolution of 25 cm — this means it can pick up an object of a minimum of that size from a height of around 500 km.
  • An existing policy allows only government and government authorised agencies to access ISRO’s high-resolution imageries below a resolution of 1 m
  • Currently, Worldview-3, a satellite owned by U.S. company Maxar, has the best ground resolution of 31 cm.

  • Oh my goodness! Incredible article dude! Thank you, However I am encountering problems with your RSS.
    I don't understand the reason why I cannot subscribe to it.
    Is there anybody else getting identical RSS issues?

    Anyone that knows the solution will you kindly respond?
    Thanx!!

  • I have been surfing on-line greater than three hours lately, yet I by no means found any attention-grabbing article like yours. It's pretty sufficient for me. In my opinion, if all web owners and bloggers made excellent content material as you probably did, the web will be much more useful than ever before.

  • You're just extremely fantastic. You make it enjoyable and you still take care to keep it wise. I can't wait to read far more from you. This is actually a tremendous site.
