Cartosat-2B is an advanced remote sensing satellite developed by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) that carries a Panchromatic camera (PAN) similar to those of its predecessors - CARTOSAT-II and 2A. It was launched by ISRO on 12 July 2010 at SHAR Centre, Sriharikota, India. This mission was carried out in PSLV-C15 launch vehicle and has a mass of 694 Kg. This satellite is capable of imaging a swath (geographical strip) of 9.6 km with a resolution of better than 1 metre. The scene specific spot imagery sent by CARTOSAT-2B's PAN is useful for cartographic and a host of other applications. The highly agile CARTOSAT-2B is steerable up to ± 26o along as well as across track to obtain stereoscopic imagery and achieve a four to five day revisit capability.
