Indian Earth observation satellite
EOS-02 (formerly known as Microsat-2A ) was an
Indian Earth observation
microsatellite developed by the
Indian Space Research Organisation as a test payload on the maiden launch of the
Small Satellite Launch Vehicle (SSLV).
[1] EOS-02 was based on
Microsat-TD . The objective behind EOS-02 was to realize and fly an experimental imaging satellite with short turnaround time to showcase launch on demand capability.
[2]
It was intended to be used for
cartographic applications at a
cadastral level, urban and
rural management , coastal land use and regulation, utilities mapping, development and various other
GIS applications . The satellite carried two payloads: a
mid-wavelength and a long-wavelength infared camera with a 6m resolution.

Launch
EOS-02 was launched on
Small Satellite Launch Vehicle 's maiden flight
SSLV-D1 at 03:48
UTC / 09:18
IST on 7 August 2022,
[4]
[5] but due to the final VTM stage failure, the rocket entered a
transatmospheric orbit of 356 km x 76 km (221 mi x 47 mi) instead of the planned circular 356 km (221 mi) circular orbit. As a result, both satellites onboard (EOS-02 and
AzaadiSAT ) were destroyed during reentry.

"SSLV-D1/EOS-02 Mission update: SSLV-D1 placed the satellites into 356 km x 76 km elliptical orbit instead of 356 km circular orbit. Satellites are no longer usable. Issue is reasonably identified. Failure of a logic to identify a sensor failure and go for a salvage action caused the deviation. A committee would analyse and recommend. With the implementation of the recommendations, ISRO will come back soon with SSLV-D2. A detailed statement by Chairman, ISRO will be uploaded soon" (
