ISRO launched the PSLV C-9 with two satellites CARTOSAT-2A and IMS-1 last month.

We are very satisfied with the quality of the images we have recovered from CARTOSAT-2," said G. Madhavan Nair, ISRO Chairman. This proved the quality of the system.

These satellite images will be far more affordable for domestic users than those bought from the United States, which are priced at $20 for one sq km," said K. Radhakrishnan, Director, National Remote Sensing Agency. CARTOSAT -2 in the next three years is bound to become one of the key players in the international market worth $120 million, for remote sensing data products.

sample image from CARTOSAT -2 can be seen at http://www.isro.org/pressrelease/May05_2008.htm
