EOS-01, first planned as RISAT-2BR2, is an ISRO radar imaging satellite for agriculture, forestry and disaster management support. PSLV-C49 launched it on 7 November 2020.
EOS-01 is the third satellite in the RISAT-2B series, which uses an X-band synthetic aperture radar to image the ground day and night, in any weather.
ISRO intends it for agriculture, forestry and disaster management support. It was renamed EOS-01 before launch.
PSLV-C49, the 51st flight of PSLV, lifted off from the First Launch Pad at Sriharikota at 15:11 IST on 7 November 2020. It was the second flight of PSLV in the 'DL' form with two strap-on motors.
After 15 minutes and 20 seconds EOS-01 entered its orbit, followed by nine international customer satellites. Its two solar arrays opened automatically and the ISRO Telemetry, Tracking and Command Network in Bengaluru took control.
The public satellite catalogue carries EOS-01 with an operational flag, in an orbit of about 553 × 574 km.
