over control of the spacecraft immediately after separation from the PSLV\u2019s fourth stage, ISRO said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the coming days, the satellite will be brought to its final operational configuration following which it will begin to provide imagery from its three cameras,\u201d ISRO said in a statement. \u201cThe data sent by Resourcesat 2A will be useful for agricultural applications like crop area and crop production estimation, drought monitoring, soil mapping, cropping system analysis and farm advisories generation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wednesday\u2019s launch was the
