Sierra Atlantic Ltd., the sole Indian distributor for RSI Inc., has received certification for Envi to be used to process data from the Indian Cartosat-1 satellite.

Envi, a remote sensing exploitation platform, is one of only two products to meet the specifications and receive certification by the government-contracted Antrix Corp., the marketing arm of the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO).

Cartosat-1, launched by ISRO in May, provides stereo data used for mapping applications with a pair of panchromatic cameras that can produce imagery with a ground resolution of 2.5 meters.

“We are pleased to provide our customers with an out-of-the-box solution to processing imagery from Cartosat-1,” Srinivas Kumar Tadepalli, head of the imaging solutions division for Sierra Atlantic Software Services, said in a statement. “The Antrix certification allows Cartosat data analysts to take advantage of Envi’s image visualization, analysis and display capabilities.”
