EOS-N1, also called Anvesha, was an Indian hyperspectral earth imaging satellite said to be built by DRDO for strategic defence purposes as well as for civilian monitoring in agriculture, urban mapping, and environmental assessment.[2] Little information has been publically released regarding its capabilities and use. It was launched in 2026 aboard PSLV-C62 but the rocket failed to reach orbit and the satellite was lost.[3] This was be the ninth dedicated commercial mission undertaken by NewSpace India Limited.[4][5][6][7][8] It has been presumed that the rocket crashed near 75°E, 18°S over the Southern Indian Ocean with the payload on board.[9]
