The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is preparing to launch the EOS-05 satellite, a critical mission that will test the agency’s credibility and strategic capability. The launch comes after a string of setbacks involving India’s strategic satellites, including the loss of GISAT-1 and the failure of NVS-02. The EOS-05 satellite is an agile geo-imaging satellite intended to provide near-real-time images of large areas at frequent intervals. The mission will be carried out by the GSLV-Mk II launch vehicle, which has a success rate of about 83.33 per cent. The launch is a high-stakes mission for ISRO, and its success is crucial for the agency’s future plans and partnerships. This article was first reported by Unknown Source.
