The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) successfully placed nine satellites in multiple orbits by its Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV-C54).
It includes an Earth Observation Satellite (EOS-06) and 8 nanosatellites.
The eight nano satellites include ISRO Nano Satellite-2 for Bhutan (INS-2B), Anand, Astrocast (four satellites), and two Thybolt satellites.
EOS-6 is the Oceansat series’ third-generation satellite.
EOS-06 is envisaged to observe ocean colour data, sea surface temperature and wind vector data to use in oceanography, climatic and meteorological applications.
