NEW DELHI, February 14. /tass/. The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) on Monday morning successfully put into orbit a satellite for radar sensing of the Earth, as well as two other small devices. ISRO announced this on its Twitter page.

"The Indian PSLV-C52 launch vehicle has launched the EOS-04 Earth observation satellite into a planned sun-synchronous polar orbit at an altitude of 529 km," the report says.

The Indian Space Agency indicates that the launch was made around 06:00 (03:30 Moscow time) from the launch pad of the space center. Satish Dhavana on the island of Sriharikota.

The EOS-04 radar satellite weighing 1,710 kg is designed to obtain high-quality images of the Earth's surface in all weather conditions and will be used in such areas as agriculture, forestry, hydrology, flood mapping, etc.

Two small spacecraft were launched together with the EOS-04 satellite. The Inspiresat-1 satellite, developed by students of the Indian Institute of Space Sciences and Technology together with the American University of Colorado and participants from Singapore and Taiwan, will explore the dynamics of the ionosphere and processes in the solar corona. Technologies for the Indian-Bhutanese satellite under development will be tested on the INS-2TD device. INS-2TD is equipped with a thermal imaging camera to assess the temperature of the Earth's surface. This is India's first space mission in 2022.
