2005-02-27
BANGALORE — India will launch four satellites this year including two remote sensing satellites from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre at Sriharikota on the Eastern coast. Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) Chairman G. Madhavan Nair told reporters here Cartosat-1 remote sensing satellite, with a 2.5 metre resolution camera to undertake mapping applications, would be launched by this April. The indigenous Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) rocket will launch the Cartosat-1 into space, he said.

#1  Polar Launch Vehicle? A southward launch? Way cool. India's in pretty good shape for all sorts of launches, I wonder if the Israelis will make use of their facilities someday.
