The document outlines the specifications and applications of the Cartosat series of satellites, built and launched by ISRO. It highlights features such as resolution, altitude, and uses in mapping and monitoring resources, with specific details for each satellite in the series, including Cartosat-1, Cartosat-2a, Cartosat-2b, and the planned Cartosat-3. Notably, these satellites operate in sun-synchronous orbits, providing critical data for various governmental and agricultural applications.
