EOS 02

EOS-02 was an Indian Earth observation microsatellite developed by ISRO as a test payload on the maiden launch of the Small Satellite Launch Vehicle. EOS-02 was based on Microsat-TD. The objective behind EOS-02 was to realize and fly an experimental imaging satellite with short turnaround time to showcase launch on demand capability.
It was intended to be used for cartographic applications at a cadastral level, urban and rural management, coastal land use and regulation, utilities mapping, development and various other GIS applications. The satellite carried two payloads: a mid-wavelength and a long-wavelength infared camera with a 6m resolution.

Launch

EOS-02 was launched on Small Satellite Launch Vehicle's maiden flight SSLV-D1 at 03:48 UTC / 09:18 IST on 7 August 2022, but due to the final VTM stage failure, the rocket entered a transatmospheric orbit of instead of the planned circular circular orbit. As a result, both satellites onboard were destroyed during reentry.
