  Antrix to market images directly
  

Images from space, generated by India’s satellites are of great demand in world markets. Antrix, the marketing arm of ISRO has been selling these images since 1994 - but through an intermediary. Now Antrix has decided to be more aggressive. It has arranged to download images in Antarctica and sell them through its own network of resellers in Turkey, Brazil, Canada, Greece and Australia.

India’s share in the $1 billion space imaging market, is Rs 400 crores and that is likely to increase when ISRO’s new Cartosat-2 begins to send images of one metre resolution.  News report
