CHENNAI: The Earth Observation Satellite jointly developed by ISRO and NASA will be launched into space on July 30 aboard India’s GSLV-F16 rocket, ISRO Chairman Dr. V Narayanan announced today.
Speaking to reporters at the Chennai International Airport, Dr. Narayanan said that the satellite will be placed in orbit at an altitude of 740 km and is equipped with state-of-the-art radar imaging technology.
“This advanced satellite can capture images of Earth 24 hours a day, even during cloud cover and rain. It will play a crucial role in detecting landslides, supporting disaster management, and monitoring climate change. Its benefits will extend not only to India and the United States but to the global community as a whole, ” he said.
Providing updates on other key missions, the ISRO Chairman said the Aditya-L1 solar satellite, launched earlier with a 1.5 kg payload, has begun transmitting solar research data. Scientists are currently analyzing this information for deeper insights into solar activity.
