	domain-B - Aviation and Aerospace - News reports - Cartosat 2A to be India's first dedicated military satellite; ...
		The Cartosat 2A will be a military version of the Cartosat 2 satellite launched by ISRO in January this year.
		The Cartosat 2A will give India the capability to monitor missile launches by rivals Pakistan and China, and also make the country only the second Asian country after Japan to have this advanced capability.
		The launch of the Cartosat 2A will also be in synch with the Indian Air Force's plans to set up an integrated air command, control and communication system that will link AWACS, aerostat balloon-borne radars and low-level transportable radars of the IAF with this dedicated military satellite.

	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: CARTOSAT
		CARTOSAT I is a stereoscopic Earth observation satellite built, launched and maintained by the Indian Space agency ISRO.
		Cartosat 1 has two state-of-the-art panchromatic cameras that take fl-and-white stereoscopic images in the visible light spectrum at a resolution of 2.5 meters.
		Data from Cartosat 1 will be used for large-scale mapping, urban and rural development, land and water resources management, disaster assessment, relief planning and management, environmental impact assessment and various other geospatial and mapping applications.

	A rich addition to our capabilities and self reliance
		The CARTOSAT 2, to be launched in next six to eight months will have a capability for imaging with a resolution of 1 metre.
		When we compare between CARTOSAT 1 and 2, that apart from resolution change, we should be aware that we are talking about two different classes of satellites - one capable of global systematic imaging and the other to look at area of interest anywhere globally.
		The CARTOSAT data will be used in the National Urban Information Systems (NUIS) programme and many other programmes in the country.

	Indian Remote Sensing Satellite Cartosat-1: Technical features and data products
		IMDP containing co-registered ortho corrected Cartosat-PAN raster images with one or more layers of cartographic vector information (available apriori or derived from Cartosat image) including a layer containing ASCII text strings as labels of vector elements, with necessary additional ancillary information shall be generated and supplied to the users.
		It is necessary to carryout scene based processing for mono mode data acquisition for either fore or aft camera towards generating level 1 or level 2 products with minimum internal distortion as per the quality requirements.
		However, since the Cartosat cameras are mounted onboard the spacecraft in non-nadir viewing configuration, this can be achieved by carrying out terrain corrections apart from the system level corrections.

		The objective is to provide high-resolution imagery (≤ 1 m, with an event monitoring capability) from a highly agile spacecraft.
		Note: The IRS (Indian Remote Sensing Satellite) series experienced a transition from the earlier generic purpose satellites (labeled as the P-series) to theme-oriented satellites like CartoSat, EduSat, OceanSat, Metsat etc. Hence, ISRO management decided not to affix the 'P' in the IRS series anymore, though they do constitute part of the IRS constellation of satellites.
		Several new technology elements have been introduced into the design of the CartoSat-2.
