ISRO Prepares to Launch EOS-05, India's First Geosynchronous Earth Observation Satellite
ISRO is set to launch EOS-05, India's first Earth observation satellite operating from geosynchronous orbit, aboard the GSLV-F17 rocket on September 4 from Sriharikota. This mission marks ISRO's return after several launch setbacks and aims to provide continuous imaging of India for disaster management, border surveillance, and environmental monitoring. EOS-05 will orbit about 36,000 km above Earth, enabling frequent observation of the same region. The launch also tests the GSLV rocket, nicknamed 'Naughty Boy' for its mixed record, following a failed similar mission in 2021.
