ISRO successfully launched the Earth observation satellite EOS-05 aboard the GSLV-F17 rocket from Sriharikota. EOS-05 is India's first imaging satellite designed to monitor the Earth from geosynchronous orbit, roughly 36,000 km above the surface. Operating from this high vantage point allows continuous, wide-area imaging of the same region, a capability new to India's remote-sensing fleet.
