An Indian rocket will next week launch Cartosat-2A, an advanced remote-sensing satellite that will help plan and implement urban and rural development projects.. The Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PLSV) will also carry an Indian mini-satellite, IMS-1, weighing 83 kilograms and eight so-called nanosatellites developed by German and Canadian research institutions that weigh between three and 16 kilograms. The Cartosat-2A satellite will be a boost to India's efforts...to keep pace with an economy that has grown at an average annual pace of nearly nine percent in the past four years.

MS-1, will serve initially as a platform for experimenting new remote sensing technologies. The launch of a mini satellite is significant as miniaturization is expected to play an important role in future space missions. The eight nanosatellites, with a combined weight of 50 kg, and built by universities and research institutions in Canada and Germany, are being launched under an agreement with Antrix Corporation, the space agency's commercial wing.
