After the failure of GSLV-D3, now India is looking forward to launch the advanced remote-sensing satellite called Cartosat-2B at 10 am on May 9 from Sriharikota spaceport.
This high-resolution spacecraft is developed to support operational life for five years.
Yesterday the GSLV-D3 mission failed to flight-test the indigenous cryogenic engine after the rocket lost the signals and went into the sea.
It has a single panchromatic camera on board which will help the cartographic satellite to identify and capture pictures of a moving car. ISRO Chairman K Radhakrishnan said, “It (Cartosat-2B) will give pictures of 0.8 meter resolution.”
This satellite weighs around 690 kg that is expected to encourage the tasks of infrastructure as well as urban planning.
