Independence Day celebrations are about to double this time as India is all set to take another leap in the skies. Amidst the preparations for the celebration of independence, on August 12, ISRO is going to deploy India's watch in space. In fact, the Earth observation satellite EOS-03 will be launched by GSLV-F10 next week from the Satish Dhawan Space Center in Sriharikota of the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO). India is going to benefit a lot from its launch.

GSLV F10/EOS 03

According to news agency PTI, ISRO said that the launch will be done on August 12 at 5:43 am. Although it will depend on the weather conditions. EOS-03 is a highly advanced satellite, which will be placed in Earth orbit with the help of GSLV F10 vehicle. If this test is successful, then India's strength will increase further and it will be easier to understand meteorological activities.

The 4-meter diameter payload fairing

The GSLV flight is reported to have carried the satellite in a 4-meter diameter-Ogive-sized payload fairing, being flown for the first time on a rocket, which has so far operated 13 other flights deploying the satellite and partner missions in space. Huh. It is being said that the EOS-03 satellite will take pictures of the entire country four-five times a day, which will send key data related to weather and environmental change. Not only this, this EOS-03 satellite will be capable of near real-time monitoring of natural disasters like floods and cyclones in the Indian subcontinent as it undergoes major environmental and weather changes.

Let us tell you that earlier on February 28, ISRO successfully carried out the first mission of the year. India's rocket took off from the Sriharikota space center on 28 February carrying a Brazilian satellite for the first time. India's PSLV (Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle) C-51 carrying Brazil's Amazonia-1 and 18 other satellites took off from the Sriharikota Space Center. The picture of Prime Minister Narendra Modi was engraved on the top panel of this spacecraft.

EOS-03

EOS-03 is the first state-of-the-art agile Earth observation satellite in Geostationary orbit.

Objectives

1. To provide near real-time imaging of large area region of interest at frequent intervals
2. For quick monitoring of natural disasters, episodic events, and any short term events
3. To obtain spectral signatures for agriculture, forestry, water bodies as well as for disaster
4. warning, cyclone monitoring, cloud burst/thunderstorm monitoring, etc.
