ISRO to Launch EOS-05 Earth Observation Satellite on September 4, 2026
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) will launch the EOS-05 earth observation satellite on September 4, 2026, at 2:55 AM IST from Sriharikota using the GSLV-F17 rocket. EOS-05, India's first imaging satellite in geosynchronous orbit, aims to monitor large areas for applications like disaster management and agriculture. This launch ends ISRO's seven-month hiatus following previous mission failures, including the 2021 GISAT-1 satellite that failed to reach orbit due to a valve malfunction.
