Google Earth's got some competition now - from the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), which today unveiled its beta version of Bhuvan (meaning earth in Sanskrit).
A web-based tool like Google Earth, Bhuvan promises to give better 3-D satellite imagery of India than is currently being offered by the US-based software giant, plus a host of India-specific features like weather information and even administrative boundaries of all states and districts.
The application can be downloaded from http://bhuvan.nrsc.gov.in/
The tool would offer pictures of the globe, just like Google Earth, and navigables in the same way but currently has the best resolution over the Indian sub-continent. It allows users to fly from space to street level, grave, spin and zoom down to any place.
It also provides tools for measuring, drawing, saving, printing and Visualizing thematic information. The resolutions currently on offer are good enough to view a moving vehicle on a road quite clearly.
Bhuvan currently only images from one year to three years, more than India. It combines satellite imagery from various sensors on board IRS (Indian Remote Sensing) and the satellites and convert them to a 3-D world. How to update the database and more higher resolution pictures, Bhuvan Finally promises, and provide real-time data and images.
Incidentally, the Indian authorities and some of the problems in the past with Google Earth display of some parts of the country. Google Earth recently, and admitted that he falsely some areas in the state of Arunachal Pradesh as part of Chinese territory and has promised to print soon. The Indian government earlier withdrew Google Earth show some sensitivity and strategic locations for the Defense of papers

Taking into account that most users will be first in India, Bhuvan is designed to be a "bandwidth-friendly" as possible, but could continue to slow Internet connection. However, it is now, it does not allow users to add their own data, such as images or text to images.
Beta version has been published by the Minister of State for Science and Technology Prithviraj Chavan in a function organized by the Astronautical Society of India.
Indian Space Research Organization and promises to add more value-added functions and facilities, including interactive system to make it easier and more efficient information portal.
After the success of the lunar mission, the Indian Space Research Organization has put the cap on Mars. Today announced plans to send a mission of the orbiter after March 2013.
Chairman of ISRO, G. Madhavan Nair, said that feasibility studies were completed in March and is now a team of scientists to assess the mission's goals and proposals. He said the government had punished with an initial amount of Rs 10 crore for this project.
