The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) on Monday placed its earth observation satellite EOS-04 and two small satellites into the intended orbit, its first launch mission in 2022.
With this, high-quality images under all-weather conditions will be available for agriculture, forestry, plantations, soil moisture, hydrology and flood mapping.
It is a radar imaging satellite weighing about 1,710 kg. It generates 2,280 W power and has a mission life of 10 years.
India’s Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV-C52) injected EOS-04 into an intended sun synchronous polar orbit of 529 km altitude at 6.17 am, ISRO said.
