Cartosat-2E is anEarth observation satellite developed by theIndian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), and is the seventh in theCartosat series.^[4] It is designed to collect high-resolution, large-scale imagery for use in urban planning, infrastructure development, utilities planning, and traffic management.^[5]

Cartosat-2E carries three primary instruments: the Panchromatic Camera (PAN), the High-Resolution Multi-Spectralradiometer (HRMX), and theEvent Monitoring camera (EvM).

• Panchromatic camera (PAN) is capable of takingpanchromatic (black and white) photographs in a selected portion of thevisible andnear-infrared spectrum (0.50–0.85μm) at a resolution of 65 cm (26 in).^[6]
• High-Resolution Multi-Spectral (HRMX) radiometer is a four-channelradiometer sensitive across the entire visible spectrum and part of the near-infrared spectrum (0.43–0.90 μm) at a resolution of 2 m (6 ft 7 in).^[7]
• 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.^[8]

The satellite was launched on 23 June 2017, along withNIUSAT and29 other satellites, aboard aPSLV-XL,PSLV-C38launch vehicle from theSatish Dhawan Space Centre First Launch Pad.^[3][9] With a mass of 712 kg (1,570 lb), it is deployed into a 505 km (314 mi)Sun-synchronous orbit for a five-year primary mission.^[2] India has allocated₹160crore (US$25 million in 2017) for the project.^[10]
