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.
