NEW DELHI: India's PSLV-C49's latest Earth observation satellite EOS-01 and nine satellite satellites were launched from Spaceport on Saturday. The EOS-01 satellite will be used primarily in agriculture, forestry, soil moisture, geology, coastal observation and flood monitoring for a variety of civilian needs.
This is the first launch of the space agency since Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced a nationwide coronavirus lockdown on March 23.
The customer satellites include 4 from the United States and Luxembourg each, and 1 from Lithuania, for multi-mission remote sensing purposes, marking marine applications and technology demonstrations.
The communications satellite GSAT-30 was the first satellite of the year to be launched by ISRO, which was launched on 17 February from the European spaceport in French Guiana. Following the PSLV-C49 mission, ISRO intends to launch the PSLV-C50 mission carrying GSAT-12R communication satellites in December.
