The Space Applications Centre (SAC) of ISRO
Bhuvan: the first Indian satellite mapping tool. Bhuvan, which literally means earth, is one of the landmark inventions by SAC. It is similar to Google Earth or Wikimapia, but enables an user to zoom far closer than the aerial view from a chopper.
Dr G Madhavan Nair, the ISRO chairman announced that Bhuvan would use the data recorded by the Indian satellites only. Nair also assured that the prototype of Bhuvan would be ready by the end of November. But the official inauguration will be by March 2009.
