India launched an Earth observation satellite on a small launch vehicle late Thursday. The Small Satellite Launch Vehicle (SSLV) launched from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre at 11:47 pm EDT (0347 GMT Friday). It placed into orbit the EOS-08 satellite for the Indian space agency ISRO as well as the SR-0 DEMOSAT picosatellite for Space Kidz India. EOS-08 carries payloads for Earth imaging and atmospheric monitoring as well as a radiation sensor that will provide data for the Gananyaan human spaceflight program. The launch was the third and final development flight of the SSLV, which failed in its first launch two years ago but reached orbit on the second flight in early 2023.
