It was launched by Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV), the third generation launch vehicle of India.</li></ul> <ul><li>Other earth observation satellites launched by ISRO include:</li><li class="ql-indent-1">RESOURCESAT- 2, 2A</li><li class="ql-indent-1">CARTOSAT-1, 2, 2A, 2B</li><li class="ql-indent-1">RISAT-1 and 2</li><li class="ql-indent-1">OCEANSAT-2</li><li class="ql-indent-1">Megha-Tropiques</li><li class="ql-indent-1">SARAL</li><li class="ql-indent-1">SCATSAT-1</li><li class="ql-indent-1">INSAT-3DR, 3D, etc</li></ul>
