SSLV T-3 rocket successfully launched with EOS-08 satellite.
The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) has designed a state-of-the-art 175.5 kg satellite called EOS-08 for Earth observation operations.
The EOS-08 satellite carries an Electro-Optical Infrared payload (EOIR), Global Navigation Satellite System-Reflectometry payload (JNSS-R) and SIC. UV dosimeters are attached. The tenure of these instruments is one year. This satellite monitors the Earth 24 hours a day. The satellite will be used for applications such as disaster monitoring, environmental monitoring and fire detection.
The satellite was successfully launched from the Satish Dhawan Space Research Center in Sriharikota at 9.17 am today by a small SSLV T-3 rocket.
The SSLV T-3 rocket that carries the satellite is a three-stage rocket fueled by solid type. The rocket will successfully place the satellite in a low earth orbit at an altitude of 475 km in exactly 13 minutes after the scheduled liftoff.
