What’s onboard? The EOS-08, weighing approximately 175.5 kg, carries three advanced payloads: EOIR Payload: Captures vital images in infrared bands for disaster monitoring and environmental surveillance. GNSS-R Payload: Analyzes ocean winds and soil moisture using GNSS signals. SiC UV Dosimeter: Monitors UV irradiance and gamma radiation, crucial for ISRO’s Gaganyaan mission. 🌍 Why it matters? This mission not only marks the completion of the SSLV project but also positions ISRO to enhance its commercial launch services, boosting India’s presence in the global space market.
