The Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) is gearing up for its next big mission to launch a customer satellite in an orbit around the planet. The TeLEOS-2 mission will launch onboard Isro’s workhorse Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) on its 55th mission to date.
The Singaporean probe is an Earth Observation Satellite, which has been designed to capture round-the-clock, all-weather satellite imagery. The 750-kilogram satellite, developed by ST Engineering, will provide imagery that could be used for hotspot monitoring and haze management, air crash search and rescue operations, and much more.
“Truly, there is power in imagery,” the company said in a Facebook update.
