GSLV-F17 had a S139 solid core with four L40H liquid strap-ons, a GL40HT liquid second stage and a CUS15 indigenous cryogenic upper stage, besides a four-metre composite ogive payload fairing.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"10\"\/>EOS-05 was injected into a geosynchronous transfer orbit. It will eventually achieve a nominal perigee of 170km, apogee of 28,934km and inclination of 19.28 degrees. The satellite will be moved to the final orbit through a series of manoeuvres using onboard thrusters<\/p>\n<div data-type=\"in_view\" class=\"  \">\n<div class=\"LEzX4\">\n<div class=\"PmOGb\">\n<p class=\"PSf84\">Share your thoughts in the comments<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Insightful<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Agree<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Disagree<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Skeptical<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Concerning<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Promising<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Worth Reading<\/button><button type=\"button\" class=\"sUTYm \">Big Development<\/button><\/p>\n<p><textarea class=\"T9MbS\" rows=\"1\" placeholder=\"Add your Thoughts...\"\/><button type=\"button\" class=\"ZW6JD \" disabled=\"\">Post Comment<\/button><\/p>\n<p class=\"swnca\">Be respectful \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiatimes.com\/termsandcondition\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" class=\"gkv0P\">TOI community guidelines<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"13\"\/>India had 21 operational Earth observation satellites as of February 2026. Of these, most are in low-Earth or sun-synchronous polar orbits, while India\u2019s geostationary-orbit Earth observation capability is currently represented by the meteorological satellites INSAT-3D, INSAT-3DR and INSAT-3DS. EOS-05 is India\u2019s first imaging satellite to operate from geosynchronous orbit.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"17\"\/>The launch was the first GSLV mission since GSLV-F16 successfully placed the joint Nasa-Isro NISAR Earth observation satellite in a 743km sun-synchronous orbit on July 30, 2025. Friday\u2019s launch was Isro\u2019s second orbital mission of 2026. The first, PSLV-C62 carrying EOS-N1 and other payloads on Jan 12, failed following an anomaly towards the end of the rocket\u2019s third-stage flight.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a
