ISRO launched Small Satellite Launch Vehicle-D3 (SSLV-D3)

Context

Indian Space Research Organisation recently achieved a significant milestone with the successful launch of its third and final developmental flight, the Small Satellite Launch Vehicle-D3 (SSLV-D3). The mission involved deploying the Earth Observation Satellite (EOS-08) and the SR-O DEMOSAT satellites into their designated orbits.

About SSLV-D3-EOS-08 mission

  • The objectives of the SSLV-D3-EOS-08 mission include designing and developing a microsatellite and creating payload instruments compatible with the microsatellite bus
  • Built on the Microsat/IMS-1 bus, EOS-08 carries three payloads
    • Electro Optical Infrared Payload (EOIR): Captures images in the Mid-Wave Infrared (MIR) and Long-Wave Infrared (LWIR) bands. Applications include satellite-based surveillance, disaster monitoring, environmental monitoring, and industrial disaster management.
    • Global Navigation Satellite System-Reflectometry Payload (GNSS-R): Demonstrates GNSS-R-based remote sensing for ocean surface wind analysis, soil moisture assessment, cryosphere studies, flood detection, and inland waterbody detection.
    • SiC UV Dosimeter: Monitors UV irradiance and serves as a high-dose alarm sensor for gamma radiation, relevant to the Gaganyaan Mission.

Fact Box:

About EOS-08 satellite

  • The EOS-08 satellite is designed for Earth observation.
  • It carries advanced technology for various tasks such as disaster monitoring, environmental observation, and surveillance.
  • It includes multiple payloads that can capture images in infrared, monitor UV radiation, and measure soil moisture and ocean winds.

About Small Satellite Launch Vehicle (SSLV) rocket

  • The SSLV is a versatile and cost-effective rocket designed to launch small satellites (weighing between 10 and 500 kg) into space.
  • It’s built to be flexible, allowing for quick launches with minimal infrastructure, and can carry multiple satellites at once.
