Definition

  • The CARTOSAT-1 (IRS-P5) is envisaged as a mission to meet the stereo data requirements of the user community. The objectives of the mission are : -To design, develop, launch and operate an advanced space based mission with enhanced spatial resolution (2.5m) with along track stereo viewing capability for large scale mapping applications (up to 1:5000 scale) -To further stimulate newer areas of cartographic applications, urban management, disaster assessment, relief planning and management, environmental impact assessment and GIS applications. CARTOSAT-1 is a global mission. The nominal life of the mission is planned to be five years. The satellite was launched by the indigenously built Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle on May 05, 2005.
