Launch
It was launched by the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV-C9) on 28 April 2008, «t 03:54:00 UTC, along with the 87 kg Indian Mini Satellite (IMS-1) and eight nano research satellites belonging to research facilities. The CanX-2 and the CanX-6 of Canada, the AAUSAT-2 of Denmark, the Compass-1 and the Rubin-8 of Germany, the CUTE-1.7 of Japan, and the Delfi-C3 of the Netherlands.[6]
IMS-1 satellite
The IMS-1 satellite is a Ministry of Defence mission for the Government of India.[7] It is a dedicated satellite for the Indian Armed Forces (IAF) which is in the process of establishing an Aerospace Command.[8]
Payload
The satellite carries a panchromatic (PAN) camera capable of taking black-and-white pictures in the visible region of electromagnetic spectrum. The highly agile Cartosat-2A can be steered up to 45° along as well as across the direction of its movement to facilitate imaging of any area more frequently. The satellite's health is continuously monitored from the Spacecraft Control Centre at Bangalore with the help of ISRO Telemetry, Tracking and Command Network (ISTRAC) of stations at Bangalore, Lucknow, Mauritius, Bearslake in Russia, Biak in Indonesia and Svalbard in Norway.[9]

[de] Cartosat-2A
Cartosat-2A ist ein indischer Erdbeobachtungssatellit aus der Indian-Remote-Sensing-Reihe. Er ist der Nachfolger von Cartosat-2 und technisch sehr ähnlich aufgebaut. Sein Start erfolgte am 28. April 2008 mit der PSLV-Rakete C9 vom Raketenstartplatz Satish Dhawan Space Centre aus, wobei auch die Satelliten CanX 2, CUTE-1.7 + APD II, AAU-Cubesat 2, COMPASS-1, Delfi-C3, SEEDS 2 und Rubin 8 ins All gebracht wurden. Er umkreist die Erde in einer etwa kreisförmigen sonnensynchronen Bahn und ist mit einer panchromatischen Kamera ausgerüstet, die Bilder im Spektralbereich von 500 bis 850 nm mit einer Schwadbreite von 9,6 bis 290 km und einer Auflösung von weniger als 1 m liefert. Der dreiachsenstabilisierte Satellit kann Aufnahmen bis zu 45° außerhalb der Bahnebene machen und so ein gegebenes Gebiet öfter als bei rein senkrechter Blickrichtung aufnehmen. Die Daten werden auf einer 64 GB Solid-State-Disk gespeichert und mit einer Datenrate von 105 Mbit/s zur Erde übertragen. Die geplante Lebensdauer des Satelliten lag bei fünf Jahren; er war im Januar 2013 noch in Betrieb.[2]
