ISRO To Launch EOS-05 At 2:55 AM Tomorrow: How India’s First Geosynchronous Imaging Satellite Will Track Cyclones, Floods And Forest Fires

ISRO is set to launch EOS-05 aboard GSLV-F17 at 2:55 AM IST on September 4, 2026. India’s first geosynchronous imaging satellite is designed to provide frequent views of the same broad region, potentially improving monitoring of cyclones, floods, forest fires and other fast-changing events.

ISRO To Launch India’s First Geosynchronous Imaging Satellite On September 4: How Will EOS-05 Watch The Same Region From Nearly 36,000 Km Above Earth?

ISRO is preparing to launch EOS-05 aboard GSLV-F17 on September 4, 2026, marking India’s first imaging satellite designed for geosynchronous orbit. Positioned roughly 36,000 km above Earth after its planned orbit-raising manoeuvres, EOS-05 is intended to provide frequent, wide-area observations of India and nearby regions. Its major advantage is repeat coverage for applications such as disaster monitoring, agriculture and environmental observation.
