ISRO launched Earth Observation Satellite EOS-03 on GSLV-F10 rocket this morning. This is ISRO's second launch in 2021 after Brazil's Amazonia-1 and 18 other small satellites in February.

New Delhi. The Earth observation satellite 'EOS-03' of the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) was launched on Thursday morning. This satellite was launched from the second test site of the Satish Dhawan Space Center in Sriharikota. However, shortly after the launch, ISRO Chief K Sivan said that ISRO's GSLV-F10/EOS-03 mission could not be completed completely due to a technical fault in the cryogenic stage. Meanwhile, according to Spaceflight Now, ISRO has confirmed that the GSLV Mk 2 launch today failed due to a 'technical failure in performance during the cryogenic stage'. The report states that this is the first failure in an Indian launch since 2017. ISRO said that the entire journey of the satellite was 18.39 minutes but at the last moment there was a technical fault in the cryonic stage. Due to this, ISRO stopped getting data. The EOS-3 mission, which was told after informing the ISRO chief, has partially failed.

Let us tell you that the main feature of Earth Observation Satellite (EOS) is that it sends real-time pictures of a large area identified at frequent intervals. It helps in quick monitoring of natural calamities as well as any short-term events. This satellite can be used in various fields including agriculture, forestry, water bodies as well as disaster warning, cyclone monitoring, cloudburst or thunderstorm monitoring. Gives important information to use.

The pictures of the country and its borders would have been available in real time. It was to be placed in Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit by GSLV (Geostationary Satellite Launch Vehicle)-F10 after which the satellite would have reached the Geostationary Orbit using its on-board propulsion system. This satellite would give its service for 10 years.

This observation satellite provides real-time pictures of the country and its borders and also helps in early monitoring of natural disasters. ISRO had said, 'The state-of-the-art Earth Observation Satellite EOS-03 will be placed in Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit (GTO) by GSLV-F10. Thereafter, the satellite will reach the final geostationary orbit using its propulsion system.
