The table below indicates relationship between the spatial resolution of
different remote satellite data, achievable accuracies (horizontal and vertical) and
potential purposes of the maps brought out on the basis of such data.

In September, 2008 the Hon’ble Minister (S&T and ES) has informed DST and
SOI to expedite the creation of data on 1:10,000 scale from suitable satellites (for
priority areas) and to make use of the very narrow window in October 2008 for cloud
