EOS–07 (formerly known as Microsat-2B) is an Earth observation satellite developed by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and launched during the SSLV-D2 mission, the first successful mission of the SSLV rocket.^[1] It's a minisatellite designed to accommodate new technology payloads in a quick turn-around time.^[2]^[1]

Structure and Payloads

It has a cubical structure consisting of six Honeycomb structures.^[3] 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), 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.^[3] 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 which will be deployed using Frangi bolt actuators. The panels have a power generation of 357 watts. It also has a Li-ion battery of 27.2 Ah capacity. The onboard computer has a MIL STD 1553B protocol for interfacing with other sub-systems. It has a data storage capacity of 32 Gb. The RF system uses S-Band Telemetry Transmitters, S-Band Telecommand Receiver, 12 channel SPS. It has a 15m location accuracy, 0.15 m/s velocity accuracy and an X-Band Data Transmitter.

Payloads

It has two payloads; mmWave Humidity Sounder (MHS) and a Spectrum Monitoring Payload. MHS has 6 water vapor sounding channels with 50rpm scan rate. It weighs 26 kg and requires 55 watt power. The Spectrum Monitoring Payload weighs 13 kg, requires a power~ of 35W, and has a data rate of 2 Mbit/s.
