An EOS or remote sensing satellite is a satellite used or designed for Earth observation (EO) from orbit, including spy satellites and similar ones intended for non-military uses such as environmental monitoring, meteorology, cartography and others.
Starting with IRS-1A in 1988, ISRO has launched many operational remote sensing satellites.
Today, India has one of the largest constellations of remote sensing satellites in operation.
Currently, *thirteen* operational satellites are in Sun-synchronous orbit and *four* in Geostationary orbit.
The data from these satellites are used for several applications covering agriculture, water resources, urban planning, rural development, mineral prospecting, environment, forestry, ocean resources and disaster management.

India’s Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) is the third generation launch vehicle.
PSLV is the first launch vehicle which is equipped with liquid stages.
PSLV’s first successful launch was in October 1994.
PSLV was used for two of the most important missions. These are Chandrayaan-1 in 2008 and Mars Orbiter Spacecraft in 2013.
