Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) successfully launched EOS-05, a state-of-the-art Earth Observation Satellite, from the GSLV-F17 rocket. The whole world was keeping an eye on ISRO's performance. Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulated ISRO scientists on the successful launch of the satellite from the Satish Dhawan Space Center in Sriharikota and said it shows India's growing space capabilities, innovation and technological excellence.
The GSLV-F17 rocket was successfully launched from the Satish Dhawan Space Center in Sriharikota on Friday. This mission sent the EOS-05 satellite to its designated orbit. This satellite will be India's first dedicated imaging satellite to observe the Earth from geostationary orbit.
Prime Minister Modi praised this success of ISRO through a social media post. He said that the successful launch of EOS-05 from GSLV-F17 is a matter of pride for India. Modi said that this mission has shown India's excellence, innovation and ever-growing capability in the space sector. He also said that the increasing cooperation between ISRO and Indian industry is giving new strength and scope to the country's space program.
EOS-05 is a state-of-the-art satellite developed for Earth observations. This satellite will give India the ability to continuously monitor a particular part of the country from geostationary orbit. This will help in earth observation, monitoring environmental changes and getting necessary information for different strategic and civil sectors. With this successful launch, India's capability in the field of satellite technology and space exploration has been further strengthened. GSLV-F17 and EOS-05 missions are being considered as another important milestone in India's space journey.
