The satellite will add to the capability of Cartosat-2 and Cartosat 2A, launched in 2007 and 2008 respectively.
ISRO chairman K Radhakrishnan said the launch is expected by the end of March or mid-April 2010 and the date will be finalised at the mission readiness review on 10 February 2010.
“The advantage is when you have three satellites, you get more coverage in a day from different locations,” Radhakrishnan said.
