THE Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) will export data from its latest satellite Resourcesat-1 and the future Cartosat-1 through a continuing arrangement with US company Space Imaging.
SI has also been exclusively marketing data outside India from earlier remote sensing satellites, IRS 1C and 1D.
The latest agreement between ISRO marketing arm, Antrix Corporation and SI is a renewal of the earlier pact and an extension of the arrangement to the latest remote sensing satellite, according to the ISRO spokesman. Within the country, all remote sensing data are accessed and sold by the National Remote Sensing Agency, Hyderabad.
ISRO commands some 25 per cent of the global remote sensing data market through its most successful IRS programmes. Resourcesat-1, ISRO's most advanced remote sensing satellite so far, was launched in October 2003 while Cartosat-1 is scheduled for launch later this year.
Mr K.R. Sridhara Murthi, ED of Antrix, and Mr Robert Dalal, CEO of SI, signed the agreement in Bangalore.
