Cartosat-3 is the fifth satellite of the Cartosat series of satellites from ISRO, the current generation of Indian remote sensing satellites, which are intended to replace the IRS series. Cartosat-1 has a resolution of 2.5 m with stereo imaging capability. Cartosat-2, launched on 10 January 2007 is a highly agile satellite with a PAN camera and has a resolution of 0.8 m, and could provide spot imaging using 'paint-brush' coverage for any given area of interest.〔 Cartosat-3 is a much more capable satellite, having a resolution of 25 cm (10"). It uses 1.2 m optics with 60% of weight removal compared to Cartosat-2. Other features include the use of adaptive optics, acousto optical devices, in-orbit focusing using MEMs and large area-light weight mirrors.〔(''Current Science'' ), Vol. 93, no. 12, 25 December 2007, page 1729.〕 Cartosat-3 is planned to be launched on board PSLV during 2014.〔(Isro plans satellite series for mapping, climate monitoring - livemint )〕 Potential uses include weather mapping, cartography, and strategic applications. A budget outlay of has been made specifically for the satellite for the financial year 2013-14. == See also == *Cartosat-1 *Cartosat-2 *Cartosat-2A *Cartosat-2B 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cartosat-3」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
