ISRO successfully launched the GSLV-F17 rocket carrying the EOS-05 Earth observation satellite from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota on September 4, 2026.
The GSLV-F17 mission marks a critical milestone for India's space program, deploying the 'Hawk Eye' satellite to enhance high-resolution imaging capabilities for national security and disaster management.
Following the successful orbital insertion, ISRO will begin the satellite's calibration phase, with full operational data transmission expected to commence within the next 14 days.
