PSLV SUCCESSFULLY LAUNCHES FOUR SATELLITES
The 680 kg main payload, CARTOSAT-2, mounted over DLA, was the first satellite to be injected into orbit at 981.3 sec after lift-off at an altitude of 639 km. About 45 sec later, DLA with the 6 kg PEHUENSAT-1 mounted on it, was separated. 120 sec later, the 550 kg Space capsule Recovery Experiment (SRE-1) mounted inside DLA was separated and finally, 190 sec later, the 56 kg LAPAN-TUBSAT, mounted on the equipment bay of PSLV fourth stage was separated.
LAPAN-TUBSAT and PEHUENSAT-1 were launched under commercial agreements.
CARTOSAT-2, is an advanced remote sensing satellite capable of providing scene-specific spot imagery. It has a Panchromatic camera (PAN) to provide imageries with a spatial resolution of better than one metre and a swath of 9.6 km

& http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Earth features the following resolutions
- Baseline resolutions
- U.S.: 15 m
- Global: Generally 15 m (some areas such as South-American countries are in extremely low resolution).
- Typical high resolutions
- U.S.: 1 m, 0.6 m, 0.3 m, 0.15 m (extremely rare; e.g. Cambridge, Ma. and Google Campus)
