Two Satellite Launches With Radar Imaging EOS-04

Under this mission, Radar Imaging EOS-04 has been sent into space. EOS-04, weighing 1,710 kg, will orbit 529 km in space in a sun-synchronous polar orbit. ISRO said that EOS-04 is a radar imaging satellite. It will be used to take high quality pictures of the Earth. These will help in preparation of maps of agriculture, forestry, plantation, soil moisture, water availability and flood prone areas. Apart from this, two other satellites have also been sent into space.

54th flight of PSLV

This is the 54th flight of PSLV and the 23rd mission using PSLV-XL configuration with 6 PSOS-XL (strap-on motors). India's Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle PSLV-C52 today injected Earth Observation Satellite EOS-04 into an intended Sun-synchronous polar orbit at an altitude of 529 km at 06:17 hrs from Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Sriharikota, ISRO said.

These two satellites were also sent together

Inspire Set-1: This satellite has been developed by the Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology in association with the Space Physics and Atmospheric Laboratory of the University of Colorado.

INS-2TD: This is the second satellite of ISRO to be launched simultaneously. It has been developed and sent before the joint satellite of India and Bhutan, INS-2V.
