New feathers in the crown of ISRO
ISRO's artificial satellite
Successful launch
'I will not stay in a closed room, I
will see the world this time, - how people are turning in the whirlpool of the
age'. Even today, the desire to know from that eternity has kept us intoxicated
by leaving the earth and penetrating the chest of space. The Indian Space
Research Organization (ISRO) has re-launched a satellite into space. ISRO
scientists launched the EOS01 Earth observation satellite into space
on Saturday by launching a PSLV-C49 rocket. ISRO started its countdown on
Friday, November 6. And on Saturday, November 7, the Earth
observation satellite EOS01 went into space.
ISRO said in a tweet on Friday that the PSLV-C49 rocket K will be launched from the Satish Dhawan Space Center in Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh at 3:02 pm.
Countdown for the launch of #PSLVC49/#EOS01 mission commenced today at 1302 Hrs (IST) from Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC) SHAR, Sriharikota.

ISRO scientists successfully launched
the Earth Observation Satellite from the Satish Dhawan Space Center in
Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh. The countdown began at 1:02 pm on Friday
and the rocket will be launched at 3:11 pm Indian time on Saturday. The PSLV-C49 rocket was
scheduled to launch in India at 3:02 pm but was delayed by 9 minutes due to
bad weather and thunderstorms. According to ISRO, the artificial satellites
have been fitted with equipment that could have been damaged by lightning.
Scientists also worshiped at the temple of Lord Venkateswara, wishing success
to the launch. 15 minutes and 20 seconds after launch, the satellite can
be placed in a specific orbit. And the remaining 9 foreign
satellites are sent into different orbits.
This is the first time the Indian Space
Research Organization has sent a satellite to Corona. Due to the corona,
various activities in ISRO like other space centers in the world came to a
standstill. However, the US NASA, Space-X or China's National Space
Administration have continued their launch work.
Nine foreign satellites also went into
space on PSLV-C49. A total of nine satellites, including four each from
the United States and Luxembourg, and one satellite from Lithuania, were sent
to the mission today. ISRO chairman said in the context of today's launch. K
Sivan said, "PSLV-C49 has successfully placed 10 satellites in
orbit." He also thanked the researchers, scientists and staff associated
with the mission. Before EOS01, the name of the satellite was Reset-2BR-2.
Later, the Prime Minister tweeted
congratulations to ISRO and its scientists. Narendra Modi wrote on Twitter, -
I congratulate @ISRO and India's space industry for the successful launch of PSLV-C49/EOS-01 Mission today. In the time of COVID-19, our scientists overcame many constraints to meet the deadline.

Note that India's EOS01 satellite is an
agricultural observation vehicle that can be used for agriculture, forest
protection and natural disaster response. It is capable of taking pictures and
surveillance day and night. According to ISRO sources, the All Weather Earth
Imaging Satellite EOS-01 has a state-of-the-art radar imaging
system, which is capable of taking perfect images from far above. It will be
very helpful for weather forecasting and agriculture. But foreign satellites
are said to be mainly used for commercial purposes.
This is the 76th launch from Sriharikota. A total of 51 Polar Satellite
Launch Vehicles (PSLV-C49) with PSLV-C49 flew into space
from Satish Dhawan Space Center. With this, India sent 326 satellites from 33 countries into
space. And keeping in mind the infection, the media is being kept away from
this launch as well. There were no visitors even in the gallery.
