'''Cartosat-2E''' is an [[Earth observation satellite]] developed by the [[Indian Space Research Organisation]] (ISRO), and is the seventh in the [[Cartosat]] series.<ref name="WMO">{{cite web |url=https://www.wmo-sat.info/oscar/satellites/view/cartosat_2e|title=Satellite: Cartosat-2E|publisher=World Meteorological Organization|date=4 January 2020|access-date=14 May 2021}}</ref> It is designed to collect high-resolution, large-scale imagery for use in urban planning, infrastructure development, utilities planning, and traffic management.<ref name="thehindu_may">{{cite news |url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/tamil-nadu/isro-anticipates-high-resolution-images-from-cartosat-satellites/article8571908.ece|title=ISRO anticipates high resolution images from Cartosat satellites|newspaper=The Hindu|date=8 May 2016|access-date=9 September 2016}}</ref><br />
<br />
== Instruments ==<br />
Cartosat-2E carries three primary instruments: the Panchromatic Camera (PAN), the High-Resolution Multi-Spectral [[radiometer]] (HRMX), and the [[Event monitoring|Event Monitoring camera]] (EvM).<br />
<br />
* Panchromatic camera (PAN) is capable of taking [[panchromatic]] (black and white) photographs in a selected portion of the [[visible spectrum|visible]] and [[near-infrared]] spectrum (0.50–0.85 [[Micrometre|µm]]) at a resolution of {{cvt|65|cm}}.<ref name="PAN">{{cite web|url=https://www.wmo-sat.info/oscar/instruments/view/pan_cartosat_2c_d|title=Instrument: PAN (CartoSat 2C/2D)|publisher=World Meteorological Organization|date=11 June 2018|access-date=14 May 2021}}</ref><br />
* High-Resolution Multi-Spectral (HRMX) radiometer is a four-channel [[radiometer]] sensitive across the entire visible spectrum and part of the near-infrared spectrum (0.43–0.90&nbsp;µm) at a resolution of {{cvt|2|m}}.<ref name="HRMX">{{cite web|url=https://www.wmo-sat.info/oscar/instruments/view/hrmx|title=Instrument: HRMX|publisher=World Meteorological Organization|date=6 January 2020|access-date=14 May 2021}}</ref><br />
* Event Monitoring camera (EvM) is also capable of capturing minute long video of a fixed spot as well, Event Monitoring camera (EvM) for frequent high-resolution land observation of selected areas.<ref name="EvM">{{cite web|url=https://www.wmo-sat.info/oscar/instruments/view/evm|title=Instrument: EvM|publisher=World Meteorological Organization|date=4 January 2020|access-date=14 May 2021}}</ref><br />

== Launch ==<br />
The satellite was launched on 23 June 2017, along with [[NIUSAT]] and '''29 other satellites''', aboard a [[Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle|PSLV-XL]], [[PSLV-C38]] [[launch vehicle]] from the [[Satish Dhawan Space Centre|Satish Dhawan Space Centre First Launch Pad]].<ref name="nsf20170622">{{cite web|url=https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/2017/06/pslv-rocket-cartosat-2e-30-small-sats/|title=PSLV rocket launches Cartosat 2E and 30 small sats|publisher=NASASpaceFlight.com|first=William|last=Graham|date=22 June 2017|access-date=12 May 2021}}</ref><ref name="timesind20170615">{{cite news |url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/isro-to-launch-cartosat-2e-on-board-pslv-c38-on-june-23/articleshow/59166999.cms|title=ISRO to launch 'Cartosat-2E' on board PSLV-C38 on June 23|newspaper=The Times of India|first=Laxmi|last=Prasannal|date=15 June 2017|access-date=19 June 2017}}</ref> With a mass of {{cvt|712|kg}}, it is deployed into a {{cvt|505|km}} [[Sun-synchronous orbit]] for a five-year primary mission.<ref name="C38.brochure">{{cite web|url=https://www.isro.gov.in/sites/default/files/flipping_book/PSLV-C38_Brochure/files/assets/common/downloads/PSLV-C38%20.pdf|title=PSLV-C38: Cartosat-2 Series Satellite Brochure|publisher=ISRO|access-date=12 May 2021|archive-date=6 July 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210706063526/https://www.isro.gov.in/sites/default/files/flipping_book/PSLV-C38_Brochure/files/assets/common/downloads/PSLV-C38%20.pdf|url-status=dead}}</ref> India has allocated {{₹|160 [[crore]]}} (US$25 million in 2017) for the project.<ref name="pib">{{cite web |url=http://pib.nic.in/newsite/PrintRelease.aspx?relid=107369|title=Space Projects Initiated/Pending Completion|publisher=Press Information Bureau, Government of India|date=24 July 2014|access-date=9 September 2016}}</ref><br />
