As our readers are probably well aware, the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV-C9) successfully launched India’s Remote Sensing satellites CARTOSAT-2A and Indian Mini Satellite-1 (IMS-1), as well as eight nanosatellites, on April 28, 2008 from Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC) SHAR, Sriharikota. The telemetry data now received indicates all the subsystems of both satellites are functioning satisfactorily and the health of the satellites is normal. The Multispectral camera onboard IMS-1 was switched on and high quality imagery covering Allahabad to Rameswaram was obtained. Then, the Hyper Spectral Imaging (HySI) camera onboard IMS-1 and panchromatic (PAN) camera onboard CARTOSAT-2A were switched on. Imagery from HySI camera covered Uttarakhand to Karnataka passing through Delhi and Bhopal. PAN camera covered strips of land from Saharanpur to Nuh (South of Delhi) and Sangli to Goa Coast. Data was received at National Remote Sensing Agency (NRSA), Shadnagar, Hyderabad. The quality of the imagery received is excellent.
