ISRO remote-sensing satellite
This polar, sun-synchronous satellite performed 14.78 orbits around the Earth in a day.
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) on Friday announced the completion of de-orbiting of Cartosat-2, the first of the high-resolution imaging satellites (generation II).
Cartosat-2 is a series of remote-sensing satellites. Since 2005, ISRO has launched Cartosat-2 satellites that were primarily used for mapping purposes with image resolution capacities ranging from coarse, medium, and high resolution.
