The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) successfully launched the GSLV-F17 rocket carrying EOS-05, an advanced Earth observation satellite, from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota at 2:55 a.m. on September 4, 2026. � The mission marks an important achievement for India’s space programme, with EOS-05 designed to provide high-resolution, continuous imaging from geosynchronous orbit. The satellite will support applications including Earth monitoring and national development. The launch is also significant for the GSLV programme following earlier setbacks, demonstrating ISRO’s improved launch capabilities and strengthening India’s Earth-observation infrastructure.
