WATCH: Lift off And Onboard Camera View of PSLV-C49/EOS-01 Launch And Antenna Deployment Videos
CHENNAI: The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has released two videos
of the successful launch of PSLV-C49-EOS-01 mission and the deployment of
antenna in orbit. The launch took place on December 7.
The first video lasting 1.51 minutes shows the rocket lifting off from the
Sriharikota spaceport and clips of onboard cameras capturing the payload
fairing or heat shield separation. The cameras also captured the rocket’s
fourth stage releasing the primary payload EOS-01 and later the nine foreign
satellites.

The second video edited for a duration of 1.49 minutes shows two cameras
onboard EOS-01, the earth observation satellite with an X-band radar,
capturing the in-orbit motorised deployment of the radial rib antenna in the
satellite. The satellite can be seen moving in space with the surface of the
earth seen in the background, and the onboard gold-colour antenna slowly
unfolds.
