The Indian Space Research Organization will send a small satellite launch vehicle on Sunday from Sriharikota. It is a three-stage vehicle with all solid propulsion stages. The mission is to launch Earth Observation Satellite, EOS-02, and a co-passenger satellite, ‘Azaadi SAT’, into low earth orbit. The satellite will be launched from Sriharikota at around 9.18 a. m.
The ‘Azaadi Satellite’ is designed by 750 girl students of government schools in rural areas from Kashmir to Kanyakumari. Space Kidz India Founder Dr. Srimathy Kesan said that it was an incredible opportunity for the girls to be a part of the programme.
