Cartosat-2S is the ISRO’s Very High Resolution Imaging Mission. It provides panchromatic imagery with a resolution
of 0.65 m and Multispectral data in four bands with a resolution better than 2m, with a nominal swath around 10 km.
The satellite is capable of steering up to +/- 45° and +/- 26° in along and across the tracks respectively. The satellite uses
Time Delay Integration (TDI) concept for image acquisition
