India started preparations for its first space mission in 2022.
The EOS-4 aka RISAT-1A (New and old nomenclature) already reached SHAR from UR Rao Satellite Centre in Bangalore using a specialized vertical transport container. The RISAT-1A will be act as a replacement satellite for the RISAT-1SAR satellite, which mysteriously stopped working after unknown reasons.
The new indigenous C- band SAR mounted satellite is classified as a earth observation satellite(EOS) having a resolution of less than 0.5m and able to take pictures even in adverse weather conditions!
