ISRO to launch a Google Earth clone service, Bhuvan

New Delhi, March 10, 2009: ISRO to launch a Google Earth clone service, Bhuvan. The India Space Agency, ISRO , will be soon launching Bhuvan, meaning “Earth” in Sanskrti , a service similar to Google Earth. The launch date has not been announced as yet but V. Jayaraman, the Director of the National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC) an ISRO unit in specializes in satellite image processing and distribution, said that the content generation is taking time. In November, the launch date was set for March.
Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is all set to take on mighty Google Earth through Bhuvan, its online earth mapping service.

The premier space agency of India that has received kudos for its successful launch of India’s first moon mission has announced the launching of a new project called Bhuvan which will map the earth using Indian Satellites.

This will be India's answer to current mapping tools like Google Earth and Wikimapia.

Bhuvan will have the capacity to zoom upto 20m while Google earth currently zooms upto 200 m and Wikimapia upto 50 m.

Unlike the other two, Bhuvan will focus only on the Indian subcontinent.

The official launch will be during the first half of 2009.

Dr G Madhavan Nair, ISRO chairman while detailing the project said “Bhuvan will use the data recorded by the Indian satellites only. The prototype of Bhuvan will be ready by the end of November and ISRO is hoping to officially launch the service by March next”.
