Voici un article de l'envoi d'un satellite militaire : "India To Launch Dedicated Military Satellite CARTOSAT 2A To Monitor Missile Launches"

India will launch its first dedicated military satellite in August to give the country the capability to monitor missile launches in its neighborhood.

The dedicated military reconnaissance satellite, CARTOSAT 2A, will be launched on a Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle rocket by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) in the first week of August, an official said here.

CARTOSAT 2A will boast of spatial resolution and will be loaded with cameras that can supply advanced imagery. It will cater to military and intelligence specifications than any existing Indian satelite. The launch of the satellite will fulfil a long- standing demand from the armed forces for a dedicated reconnaissance spacecraft.

Launch of the first military satellite will be rapidly followed by the launch of two more advanced imaging satellites by next year to give India the capability of keeping an eye round-the-clock on the region surrounding the country.

Technical Specifications

CARTOSAT-2 will be an advanced remote sensing satellite with a single panchromatic camera capable of providing scene specific spot imageries for cartographic applications.

The satellite will have high agility with capability to steer along and across the track up to +45 degrees. It will be placed in a sun-synchronous polar orbit at an altitude of 630 km. It will have a revisit period of 4 days, which can be improved to one day with suitable orbit manoeuvres.

The panchromatic camera is designed to provide better than 1 m spatial resolution imageries with a swath of 10 km.

Oui effectivement !

C'est un début pour le pays mais il faut dire qu'il bénéficie de soutien d'autres alliés pour espionner ses ennemis.

India to launch satellite with military applications 

Bangalore, Sept 21: India has built an advanced remote sensing satellite with military and other applications and its launch is expected in the next few weeks onboard a home-grown rocket, with an Israeli spacecraft as its likely co-passenger.

"Cartosat-2A is ready for launch," an ISRO official said.

Meanwhile, Secretary in the Department of Space and Chairman of Indian Space Research Organisation, G Madhavan Nair, indicated that if it`s technically feasible, Cartosat-2A and Israel`s Polaris would be launched together onboard India`s Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV).

"There are some technical issues that have to be resolved. We are in discussion with them (Israeli space Agency).... (We will go for simultaneous launch) if its technically feasible. There are some questions to be discussed," Nair said here.

"We have not yet finalised the date for the launch. We want to do it before the end of the year. That`s our target".

ISRO officials brushed aside suggestions in some quarters that Cartosat-2A is India`s first dedicated military satellite but gave enough indications that it could be used for military purposes.

"The pictures which we get from this satellite (Cartosat-2A)...What applications use...Left to the imagination of the user. We don`t put a restriction on anybody using it," Nair said.
