Cartosat2Es

Cartosat2Es refers to a series of Indian Remote Sensing satellites developed and operated by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). These satellites are part of the Cartosat family, which is designed for high-resolution Earth observation. The "Es" designation typically indicates an enhanced or advanced version, suggesting improvements in sensor capabilities or resolution compared to earlier Cartosat missions.

The primary objective of the Cartosat2Es series is to provide detailed imagery of the Earth's surface. This data is crucial for a wide range of applications, including urban planning, infrastructure development, rural resource management, and disaster monitoring. The satellites are equipped with advanced panchromatic and multispectral cameras, capable of capturing images with very high spatial resolution. This allows for the identification and mapping of small features on the ground.

The data acquired by Cartosat2Es satellites is utilized by various government agencies, research institutions, and commercial entities. It supports tasks such as creating detailed maps, monitoring changes in land use and land cover, assessing crop health, and providing crucial information during natural calamities like floods or cyclones. The consistent and reliable data stream from these satellites contributes significantly to India's geospatial capabilities and its ability to manage its resources effectively.
