Cartosat-2, ISRO's hottest earth imaging satellite yet, may be put in orbit a month later than planned. It now looks set for a late November flight, according to officials at the space agency. The interest in Cartosat-2, which will be the nation's second 'mapping' satellite since May 2005, is in its high resolution of one metre. This will make it the world's second best alongside Ikonos of the US that also gives 1-m imageries; and a close rival to Quickbird that offers an incredibly close 60-cm resolution; all of them from a distance of 800-900 km in space.
