| Abstract |
CartoSat-2 is a direct follow-on satellite to CartoSat-1 (IRS-P5) of ISRO, Bangalore, India. The objective is to provide high-resolution imagery 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.
