The SSLV is capable of launching Mini, Micro or Nanosatellites (10 to 500kg mass) into a 500 km planar orbit.
The EOS-08 satellite is designed for Earth observation and carries advanced technology for various tasks such as disaster monitoring, environmental observation, and surveillance.
It includes multiple payloads that can capture images in infrared, monitor UV radiation, and measure soil moisture and ocean winds.
