Best Answer

The area of the earth which is imaged during a satellite orbit is referred to as the satellite swath and can range in width from ten to hundreds ofkilometers. As the satellite orbits the earth a different area is covered due to the earth's rotation. The elevation of the satellite orbit is designed so that the same location will be retraced (imaged) in a period of several weeks.

What is the use of cartographic satellite?

A cartographic satellite, IRS-P5 (CARTOSAT-1), is under fabrication and testing. It will carry two panchromatic cameras with 2.5 metre spatial resolution and a swath of 30 km. The cameras provide stereo imaging useful for generation of digital terrain models. The satellite will be placed in a 617 km polar sun-synchronous orbit. The launch is planned in 2002-03 on board PSLV. Work on a more advanced cartographic satellite, CARTOSAT-2, has also been initiated. It will carry a high-resolution panchromatic camera providing 1 metre resolution and a swath of 10 km. The satellite will be placed in a sun-synchronous polar orbit at a nominal altitude of 630 km. Besides the above satellites, a Technology Experiment Satellite (TES) is under development and fabrication. TES will be used to demonstrate new technologies for remote sensing. It will be launched by PSLV in to polar sun-synchronous orbit at a height of 560 km. The launch is planned in 2001-02. In short, it is a satellite used to map the earth's surface.
