PSLV-XL | EOS-4 (RISAT-1A)

The PSLV-XL mission will launch the EOS-4 (RISAT-1A) payload into a Sun-Synchronous Orbit. EOS-4 is a radar imaging satellite designed to provide high-resolution images of the Earth's surface, particularly in areas with dense vegetation or cloud cover. This mission is significant as it will enhance India's remote sensing capabilities, supporting applications such as agriculture, forestry, and disaster management. The PSLV XL rocket, a variant of the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle, will be used for this mission. The PSLV XL features a stretched payload fairing and increased payload capacity, allowing for more efficient launches of larger satellites. This will be the 45th launch of the PSLV space launch vehicle.
