The rocket will launch an advanced earth observation satellite EOS-N1 (code-named &#8216;Anvesha&#8217;), another &#8216;eye in the sky&#8217; that will boost India&#8217;s surveillance powers from space. Besides the primary payload EOS-N1, PSLV will also be carrying a European demonstrator satellite and 17 other satellites belonging to Indian and foreign agencies. EOS-N1 is a hyperspectral imaging satellite developed primarily for DRDO. It is capable of &#8220;seeing&#8221; in hundreds of wavelengths to identify materials on the ground &#8211; making it a high-priority asset for national security and surveillance. It will help India secure its borders and also be used in fields like agriculture, urban mapping and environmental observation. Besides EOS-N1, 18 secondary payloads, including Europe&#8217;s Kestrel Initial Demonstrator, will piggyback on the primary satellite and will be placed in space. The KID mission will feature experimental re-entry of a small capsule in collaboration with a Spanish startup, with a planned splashdown in South Pacific Ocean. Other secondary payloads are cubesats from Indian startups and universities, including CV Raman Global University&#8217;s CGUSAT-1, Dhruva Space&#8217;s DA-1, Space Kidz India&#8217;s SR-2, Assam Don Bosco University&#8217;s Lachit-1, Akshath Aerospace&#8217;s Solaras-S4 and Dayanand Sagar University&#8217;s DSAT-1. OrbitAID Aerospace is set to make history with AayulSAT, India&#8217;s first on-orbit satellite refuelling payload.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NEW DELHI: Isro will mark its first launch of 2026 &#8211; PSLV C62 mission &#8211; on Monday (Jan&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":400278,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[48],"tags":[4,193214,193213,5987,2344,5984,5985,193212,193211,193215,79,193,193216,5986],"class_list":{"0":"post-400277","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-space","8":"tag-breaking-news","9":"tag-earth-observation-satellite-india","10":"tag-eos-n1-satellite","11":"tag-google-news","12":"tag-india","13":"tag-india-news","14":"tag-india-news-today","15":"tag-isro-launch-schedule-2026","16":"tag-pslv-c62-mission","17":"tag-pslv-programme-comeback","18":"tag-science","19":"tag-space","20":"tag-surveillance-satellite-india","21":"tag-today-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/400277","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=400277"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/400277\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/400278"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=400277"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=400277"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=400277"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
