EOS-10 (also known as Oceansat-3A) is an Earth observation satellite, which is the fourth satellite in the Oceansat series made by ISRO. It is planned to be launched in Q1 2026 using a PSLV rocket from Satish Dhawan Space Centre. The satellite aims to improve the existing remote sensing capabilities related to the field of oceanography.[1][2][3]
Launch
[edit]Oceansat-3A will be launched from Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Q1 2026. It will be launched aboard a PSLV-XL rocket configuration, aboard the PSLV-N1 mission along with IMJS.[4][5][6][7]
