Once again the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) is ready to demonstrate its technical ability. ISRO is going to launch a special EOS-09 (Risat-1B) satellite through its reliable Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV-C61) tomorrow. The EOS-09 (Risat-1B) satellite will be launched at 5:59 am from the Satish Dhawan Space Center of Sriharikota. With this satellite, India’s night time and in every season are expected to be unprecedented.
This satellite has the ability to see the clouds across
Talking about the EOS-09 satellite, this satellite can not only see the clouds across, but can also take high-employment photos even in the dark of night. Through this satellite, India’s space has strengthened the monitoring capacity from space, especially when there is peace on the border with Pakistan, but India remains alert about every situation.
This satellite will be released from the Satish Dhawan Space Center in Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh through the trusted rocket PSLV (PSLV) of ISRO. This is ISRO’s 101st big rocket launch so far. The EOS-9 weighs 1,696 kg and will be installed in a orbit of about 500 km above the Earth’s surface.
Can take accurate photos of the ground even in low light
This satellite has been fully designed with indigenous technology at ISRO’s UR Rao Satellite Center, Bengaluru. It uses C-band synthetic aperture radar (SAR) technology, which is capable of taking accurate photos of land in all weather and even in low light.
This “detective satellite” will be part of India’s satellite system, already deployed in more than 50 satellite space. Seven of these radar satellites are particularly active under the supervision of border areas, which have played an important role during the Military activities between the Pahagam attack on April 22 and then between the two countries.
Security agencies will help a lot
Prior to EOS-9, India had the major imaging satellite Cartosat-3, she could not take pictures at night. EOS-9 will remove this weakness and the photos from it will be more clear and accurate than before, which will help the security agencies a lot. Recently, ISRO President Dr. V. Narayanan said on this occasion, “At least 10 satellites are engaged in security of the country round the clock.
India has to monitor its 7,000 km long maritime border and the entire northern region. This is not possible without satellite and drone technology. ” At the same time, Union Minister of Science and Technology Dr. Jitendra Singh said at this launch, “Accuracy, teamwork and engineering gives strength to India’s space ambitions.” Many MPs and scientists were present in Sriharikota to see this historic launch.

Contribution to national security and disaster management
This launch is a milestone for both India’s security and space technology. Advanced radar imaging capacity of EOS-09 makes it an important tool for national security. This satellite will be able to monitor India’s borders and coastal areas 24 × 7, which will strengthen military and defense preparations.
In addition, this satellite will also play an important role in civil applications such as agriculture, forestry, flood monitoring, soil moisture evaluation, geology, sea ice and coastal monitoring. Overall, the objective of this mission is to meet the need to gather information about the extended immediate time events across the country.
Earth Overview Satellite-09 is a satellite as the EOS-04 launched in the year 2022. The PSLV-C61 rocket can install the EOS-09 satellite in a synchronous polar orbit (SSPO) after a 17-minute visit. After separation in the desired orbit of the satellite, scientists will later use the ‘Orbit Change Thristers’ (OCT) on the vehicle to reduce the height of the classroom.
ISRO said that the mission period of EOS-09 is five years. According to scientists, a sufficient amount of fuel has been reserved to get the satellite out of the classroom after its effective mission period so that it can be launched in orbit within two years, ensuring debris-free missions.
