EOS-09 sat set for launch to boost India’s border surveillance powers

India’s surveillance capabilities are poised for a significant boost with ISRO’s upcoming launch of the EOS-09 (RISAT-1B) radar imaging satellite on May 18. Equipped with advanced C-band synthetic aperture radar, the satellite will provide high-resolution images regardless of weather conditions. This strengthens border surveillance along sensitive areas with Pakistan and China, while also aiding in anti-terror operations and coastal monitoring.
