Isro to launch Earth Observation Satellite aboard SSLV's 3rd development flight

The Indian Space Research Organisation is set to launch its latest Earth Observation Satellite, EOS-08, aboard the Small Satellite Launch Vehicle -D3. The Global Navigation Satellite System-Reflectometry payload will demonstrate the capability of using GNSS-R-based remote sensing for ocean surface wind analysis, soil moisture assessment, cryosphere studies over the Himalayan region, flood detection, and inland waterbody detection. The EOS-08 satellite is designed to operate in a Circular Low Earth Orbit at an altitude of 475 km with an inclination of 37.4°, and has a mission life of one year. The EOS-08 mission represents a significant step forward in satellite technology, with innovations such as X-band data transmission, advanced battery management systems, and enhanced thermal management materials.
