ISRO to launch of EOS-08 Earth Observation Satellite to August 16
The Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) announced that the launch of its latest earth observation satellite, EOS-08, has been rescheduled to August 16, 2024.
Initially planned for August 15, Isro did not provide specific reasons for the delay.
The satellite will be launched aboard the third and final developmental flight of the Small Satellite Launch Vehicle (SSLV-D3) from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota.
The primary mission of EOS-08 involves the design and development of a microsatellite, integrating new technologies necessary for future operational satellites, and ensuring that payload instruments are compatible with the microsatellite bus.
The mission represents the culmination of the SSLV Development Project and paves the way for operational missions to be undertaken by Indian industry and NewSpace India Limited (NSIL).
