According to ISRO, EOS-01 is a highly advanced earth observation satellite. It is similar to the RISAT-2B and RISAT-2BR1 satellites launched last year.

This earth observation satellite has radar imaging technology, which is not affected by bad weather or the lack of sunlight. This means it can produce high-quality images in all conditions and at all times.

It will be used to help scientists in agriculture, forestry and disaster management planning.
