EOS-01 (RISAT-2BR2)
EOS-01, formerly designated RISAT-2BR2, is an ISRO Earth observation satellite in the RISAT programme, launched on 7 November 2020 aboard PSLV-C49.[1][2] The mission carries an X-band SAR-X synthetic aperture radar with 1 to 8 m resolution and 10 to 50 km swath by mode.[3] The satellite operates in a low Earth drifting orbit at approximately 555 km altitude and 37 degree inclination.[4] WMO OSCAR lists the mission as operational as of a February 2026 update; ISRO's April 2025 satellite status listing also confirms operational status.[4][2] Applications include reconnaissance, disaster management, soil moisture estimation, flooding assessment, and land-cover change detection.[1][4] Data are distributed offline through NRSC.[1]
