#eos06 — Public Fediverse posts

A new false-color image of Earth shows the continents and oceans in striking detail. The image was created by combining nearly 3,000 photos taken by India’s EOS-06 satellite in February 2023. The satellite uses 13 wavelengths of light to capture information about vegetation and ocean biota.

#PSLVC54 successfully deployed #EOS06 in its intended orbit at 742 km. Now, it will perform an orbit lowering maneuver to around 510 km to deploy the remaining 8 nanosatellites. Web stream returns at 12:45 pm for the same. Congratulations, #ISRO. Tense wait for other passenger payloads.

25 hour countdown to launch started at 10:56 am (IST). #PSLVC54 #EOS06

two additional OCT thrusters are towards inside of Propulsion Bay Ring.

This launch vehicle will make an interesting manoeuvre. It first will launch Oceansat 3/EOS-06 in a 742 km orbit. It will then use Orbital Control Thruster (OCTs) to lower the orbit to launch the 8 'passenger payloads' into an orbit around 520 km.
