EOS–07
Indian Earth observation satellite
EOS–07 (formerly known as Microsat-2B) was an Indian Earth observation satellite developed by ISRO and launched during the SSLV-D2 mission, the first successful mission of the SSLV rocket. It's a minisatellite designed to accommodate new technology payloads in a quick turnaround time.
Structure and Payloads
It has a cubical structure consisting of six Honeycomb structures. The top and Bottom decks are connected with 4 staggered cross ribs and 4 closing vertical decks. The structure includes a Starsensor (mSS), 4π Sunsensor (4πSS), a micro-Inertial Reference Unit (mIRU), and a Magnetometer. It has a passive thermal control system with Optical Solar Reflector, Multi-Layer Insulation, Thermal interface material, etc. It has 1N Thrusters (1Nms), 0.02Nm Reaction Wheels, and 20 A.m2 Magnetic Torquers powered by 5 kg of hydrazine fuel. The altitude and orbital control system (AOCS) has a pointing accuracy of – 0.1° (3σ) and a drift rate of – 7.5e-4°/s. For power generation, it has solar panels that will be deployed using Frangi bolt actuators. The panels have a power generation of 357 watts.
Begin with the source’s own compact description: “EOS–07” is indian Earth observation satellite. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Indian, Earth and observation, not as a finished interpretation.
Why this record matters
The phrase “indian Earth observation satellite” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jan 2, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q116739232. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
