Cartosat-2C is an Indian earth observation satellite from the Indian Remote Sensing series. It was launched on June 22, 2016 with a PSLV-C34 rocket from the Satish Dhawan Space Center rocket launch site on Sriharikota. In addition to Cartosat-2C, three mini satellites ( LAPAN-A3 , BIROS and SkySat Gen2-1), two microsatellites ( GHGSat-D and M3MSat of the University of Toronto Institute for Aerospace Studies ) and 14 nanosatellites ( Swayam , SathyabamaSat and 12 Flock-2P- Dove nanosatellites ) into space. It circles the earth in a sun-synchronized orbit and is equipped with a panchromatic camera, the images in the spectral range from 500 to 850 nm, with a swath width of 9.6 to 400 km (by tilting the camera) and a resolution of 0.65 m supplies. In addition, a four-channel multispectral camera (spectral ranges 0.43-0.52 µm, 0.52-0.61 µm, 0.61-0.69 µm, 0.76-0.90 µm), a swath width of 10 km ( up to 400 km by panning the camera) and a resolution of 2 m. The planned lifespan of the satellite is five years.
