GSLV launches EOS-05 imaging satellite
Posted: Sat, Sep 5, 2026, 10:05 AM ET (1405 GMT)
The Indian space agency ISRO successfully launched an Earth imaging satellite in its first mission since a January failure. A GSLV Mark 2 rocket lifted off from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre at 5:25 pm EDT (2125 GMT) Thursday, deploying the EOS-05 satellite into a transfer orbit nearly 20 minutes later. EOS-05 will operate from geostationary orbit, providing continuous but low-resolution imaging of India using multispectral and hyperspectral instruments. The launch was the first by ISRO since a January failure of the PSLV rocket. After the launch, ISRO said it plans six more launches through the end of the current fiscal year in March 2027, including the first uncrewed test flight of the Gaganyaan human spaceflight vehicle.
