The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is closely monitoring Cyclonic Storm ‘Dana’ heading toward Odisha and West Bengal with its EOS-06 and Insat-3DR satellites.
About EOS-06:
EOS-06, also known as Oceansat-3, is an Earth Observation Satellitedeveloped by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).
It was launched successfully on November 26, 2022, using ISRO’s Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV-C54).
EOS-06 is part of the Oceansat series of satellites, which are designed to monitor and study various aspects of the Earth's oceans and coastal zones.
The primary objective of EOS-06 is to provide continuity to the services of its predecessors (Oceansat-1 and Oceansat-2) with enhanced payload capabilities to support oceanographic and atmospheric studies.
This includes applications in ocean surface studies, coastal zone management, and marine weather forecasting.
About INSAT-3DR:
Launched in September 2016, INSAT-3DR is the successor to INSAT-3D, owned and operated by ISRO (Indian Space Research Organisation).
It is an advanced meteorological satellite of India configured with an imaging system and an atmospheric sounder.
The significant improvements incorporated in INSAT-3DR are:
Imaging in the middle infrared band to provide nighttime pictures of low clouds and fog.
Imagingin two thermal infrared bands for estimation of Sea Surface Temperature (SST) with better accuracy.
Higher spatial resolution in the visible and thermal infrared bands.
INSAT-3DR will provide service continuity to earlier meteorological missions of ISRO and further augment the capability to provide various meteorological as well as search and rescue services.
