CHENNAI: The two cameras onboard the CARTOSAT-1 have started sending imageries and they show Punjab and Gujarat. The imageries taken on May 8 are of good quality, according to the Indian Space Research Organisation. They include one over Amritsar. Detailed analysis of the imageries confirmed "the excellent performance of the cameras," said an ISRO press release from Bangalore on Monday. The Data Reception Centre of the National Remote-Sensing Agency, Hyderabad, received the imageries. The two cameras were tested by switching them on through a series of programmed commands sent from the Spacecraft Control Centre of ISRO Telemetry, Tracking and Command Network at Bangalore. The Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle, PSLV-C6, which lifted off from Sriharikota on May 5, put two satellites called CARTOSAT-1 and HAMSAT into polar sun synchronous orbit.
