    Solution

    The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) successfully launched an Earth Observation Satellite using the Small Satellite Launch Vehicle (SSLV) from Sriharikota. This mission, designated SSLV-D3-EOS-08, was pivotal as it not only demonstrated the SSLV's low-cost, quick turnaround launch capabilities but also its ability to place a 500 kg satellite into a 500 km orbit, which is crucial for India's strategic interests in space.
