The mission's main satellite will observe Earth after a related satellite was lost during launch in 2021.
An Indian Space Research Organisation Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle carrying the EOS-04 Earth observation satellite stands atop its launch pad at the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, India ahead of a planned launch on Feb. 14, 2022 local time .
The mission's main payload, EOS-04, will be hefted into a sun-synchronous polar orbit with an altitude of 329 miles , according to. Such an orbit gives consistent lighting to images below the satellite, making it easier to compare features on the ground from one observation to another. The mission, ISRO added, will"provide high-quality images under all weather conditions for applications such as agriculture, forestry and plantations, soil moisture and hydrology, and flood mapping."
