The EOS-08 satellite will be used for disaster monitoring, environmental observation, and surveillance.
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has successfully launched a new Earth observation satellite called EOS-08. The satellite was launched using a rocket called Small Satellite Launch Vehicle (SSLV)-D3 from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota.
The EOS-08 satellite will help India monitor the Earth and track changes in the environment. It can also be used to respond to natural disasters and keep an eye on the country’s borders. The satellite is equipped with advanced technology that can capture high-quality images and collect data on soil moisture, ocean winds, and more.
This launch is a big milestone for ISRO as it marks the completion of the SSLV development phase. The SSLV rocket is designed to be cost-effective and flexible, making it ideal for launching small satellites. With this success, ISRO plans to transfer the SSLV technology to industry for mass production, making it easier to launch satellites in the future.
