Most Advanced Observation Satellite Launched

[HariPrasad]

what is the capability/resolution ?

1 M equal to TES resolution launched by india 1 and half decades back.

Congrats!!!!!!!!

Congrats

Congrats brothers....... great going, you will sure become next super power.... best of luck

Many things we can learn from u..

We have launched this sort of satellite in 2001.

You sure? Cartosat 2 with 1m resolution was launched in 2007, before that India used to buy images from Ikonos. Is there any other sat you are talking about? Than again, GF2 covers 4 times the swath in both the directions.

The Technology Experiment Satellite (TES) has a pan chromatic camera for remote sensing. The camera is which is capable of producing images of 1 meter resolution. 1 m resolution means the camera is able to distinguish between two objects which are separated at least a meter.

The launch of TES made India the second country in the world after theUnited States that can commercially offer images with one meter resolution.[2] It is used for remote sensing of civilian areas, mapping industry and geographical information services.

TES, which was launched in 2001, helped the US army with high-resolution images during the 9/11 counter-terrorism offensive against the Taliban.

Cartosat was for other purpose. It was not intended to be a high resolution satellite.

Cartosat was for other purpose. It was not intended to be a high resolution satellite.

Cartosat-2 can produce images of up to 100 cm in resolution (black and white only),[3] compared to the 80 cm offered by Ikonos which is multispectral. In the past, India used to buy images from Ikonos at about $20 per square kilometre of imagery (where regional pricing was valid), otherwise the price is $7.70 per square kilometer. With Cartosat-2 offering better resolution at twenty times lower cost per square metre of imagery, buying images from Ikonos is likely to decline in future. Currently, India buys images worth about Rupees 2 crores in a year from Ikonos.

If India was using TES than there was no reason to buy from Ikonos.

May be only one tes was not enough or they may be different type of images.

 

[Kloitra]

From what I know TES was demonstrator. Not commercially usable.

It seems that you have not read the matter i posted. Inida used to sell TES images. Even US used TES images to attack Osama hide out when US fired tomahawk cruise from see.

I am a bit skeptical about wiki. The source that was used in the wiki article:
BBC News | SOUTH ASIA | India's spy satellite boost
states that India possesses imagery from Afghanistan. Not that it gave it to US. Making the wiki page a suspect. Also, the article itself says that India 'can' commercially offer the images. All in all, the wiki page is not so reliable, it doesn't even have proper referencing for the claim. On the other hand, it is known that India relied on Ikonos for imagery till Cartosat2 started to replace it. Thus TES whose stated purpose was to be a tech demonstrator doesn't comes into picture. We certainly can claim that the tech was present in 2001. Can't prove that it was used.

Now it is upto you to believe it or not. India had this technology in 2001 is a fact.

From the ISRO link:

TES is the first very high resolution satellite (less than 1m) built and launched by ISRO. It is an experimental satellite to demonstrate and validate more than eleven new technologies

The major objectives of TES are to design and develop a technology experimental satellite incorporating a set of critical technologies for on-orbit demonstration and validation for future mission and also to provide hands on experience in complex mission operations like step and stare maneuvers, etc.

As I said, it was a tech demo satellite.

You see the Indian are always desperate to prove they are superior to Chinese. They buy others stuff and brag how superior to they have. Make a world fastest supercomputer first before you Indian talks.

 

[Beidou2020]

India's most advanced commercial remote-sensing satellite is Cartosat-2B with a panchromatic resolution of less than 1m with a swath of only 9.6km. Not sure about the multispectral resolution.

China's most advanced commercial remote-sensing satellite is Gaofen-2 with a panchromatic resolution of 80cm and multispectral resolution of 3.2m with a swath of 48km.

And Cartosat was launched way back in 2010! Don't tell me the camera and data transfer tech have improved only so much...
Let's stop this d*k measuring and discuss the technical/other aspect of this or any other satellite, without stepping on each others tails.
