Tricity residents have a reason to rejoice and be proud of as the recent launch of Earth Observation Satellite (EOS-08) onboard the Small Satellite Launch Vehicle (SSLV) has indigenously designed and fabricated devices from Semi-Conductor Laboratory (SCL), Mohali.

Three bending mode accelerometer and PRT in multi-chip module along with 36 multi-core reconfigurable data acquisition system have been used in the project.

Launched from the first launchpad of the Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh at 9:17 am on Friday, the third developmental flight carrying the passenger satellite SR-0 DEMOSAT, was successfully placed into the intended orbit as planned. It took around 17 minutes for the satellite, with a mission life of one year, to enter into 475 km circular low Earth orbit.

ISRO’s project is a step ahead in the satellite-based surveillance, disaster and environmental monitoring, flood and in-land water body detection and other applications.

During the Chandrayaan-3 mission on August 23, 2023, the SCL-fabricated Vikram Processor (1601 PE01) was used for Launch Vehicle Navigation (LVM3) and CMOS Camera Configurator (SC1216-0) was flown onboard as Vikram Lander imager camera.
