India is set to launch its third-generation Cartosat-3 cartography satellite with high-resolution imaging capability on 25 November on board the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO)'s Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle-XL (PSLV-XL) rocket, reports India Today.
The Cartosat-3 will be inserted in an orbit at a height of 509 km in the space at an inclination angle of 97.5 degrees. The agile and advanced satellite is likely to bolster India's cartographic abilities.
The PSLV-XL is expected to lift off at 9.30 am on 25 November with all of its payloads.
Along with the Cartosat-3, PSLV-XL rocket of the ISRO will also be carrying 13 commercial nano satellites from the United States (US) which will all be deployed into the sun-synchronous orbit, all in a single flight plan.
It should also be noted that the launch of commercial nano satellites along with Cartosat-3 has been facilitated by NewSpace India Ltd (NSIL), which is a new company formed recently under the Department of Space.

The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
