Cartosat-2D is an Indian earth observation satellite from the Indian Remote Sensing series. It was launched on February 15, 2017 at 3:58 UTC with a PSLV-C37 rocket from the Satish Dhawan Space Center rocket launch site on Sriharikota. In addition to Cartosat-2D, 103 mini satellites (96 from the USA, two from India and one each from the Netherlands, Switzerland, Israel, Kazakhstan and the UAE) were brought into space. The total payload was 1378 kg. 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.
