The Indian House Analysis Organisation (ISRO), which has had a quiet yr to date, is again to successful methods with the profitable launch of the state-of-the-art Earth remark spacecraft, EOS-05.
The Geosynchronous Satellite tv for pc Launch Car (GSLV) on its nineteenth flight positioned the EOS-05 into the supposed Sub-Geosynchronous Switch Orbit 18 minutes after it lifted off from the second launch pad of the Satish Dhawan House Centre in Sriharikota at 2.55 a.m. on September 4.
The EOS-05 is India’s first ever imaging satellite tv for pc to watch from Geosynchronous orbit about 36,000 km above the Earth.
“I’m very glad to announce that the GSLV-F17 automobile has efficiently and exactly injected the superior Earth remark satellite tv for pc EOS-05 within the supposed and required orbit, “ ISRO Chairman Dr. V. Narayanan mentioned.
He added that this was the 107th launch from the spaceport in Sriharikota and nineteenth mission of the GSLV.
“The primary launch of the GSLV- D1 was finished with a payload of 1536 kg from that regularly now we have improved the efficiency of this automobile by optimising the structural mass, enhancing the propulsion techniques and at present now we have injected the heaviest satellite tv for pc, a 2367 kg satellite tv for pc utilizing this launch automobile,” he added.
The ISRO Chairman mentioned that when the Earth remark satellite tv for pc, EOS-05 is operationalised in orbit it would change into India’s first devoted imaging satellite tv for pc from the Geo Orbit offering vital strategic knowledge for our nation.
“From the satellite tv for pc knowledge we verify all of the valves are working completely, the photo voltaic panel is deployed and the well being of the satellite tv for pc is completely alright.
Within the coming days we’ll elevate the orbit and take it to the required orbit and place the satellite tv for pc within the Geo platform for nationwide actions,” the ISRO Chairman mentioned.
The EOS-05 satellite tv for pc dubbed as Eye within the Sky will present real-time imagery in addition to serving to agriculture, setting, catastrophe administration amongst others.
The profitable launch of the EOS-05 comes as an enormous reduction for ISRO which has not carried out any launch actions for the reason that failure of the PSLV-C62 mission carrying the EOS-N1 earth remark satellite tv for pc on January 12, 2026.
The area company for the reason that again to again failures of PSLV-C62 and the PSLV-C61 in Might 18, 2025 had taken a cautious strategy and kept away from finishing up any launches.
Although seven missions together with the GSLV-F17/EOS-05 had been scheduled to happen within the first quarter of 2026, ISRO didn’t lauch any satellites.
The profitable launch of the 2367 kg EOS-05 satellite tv for pc, additionally places behind the failure which ISRO had encountered in August 2021 with the GSLV-F10 / EOS-03 mission.
Again then, the GSLV-F10 / EOS-03’s mission efficiency was regular throughout the first and second phases. Nevertheless, the cryogenic higher stage ignition didn’t occur as a result of a technical anomaly, and the mission remained unsuccessful. The EOS-05 satellite tv for pc replaces the unsuccessful EOS-03 mission.
