EOS-6 is the third-generation satellite in the Oceansat series. This is to provide continuity services of Oceansat-2 spacecraft with enhanced payload specifications as well as application areas.

Payloads

• Ocean Color Monitor (OCM-3)
• Sea Surface Temperature Monitor (SSTM)
• Ku-Band Scatterometer (SCAT-3)
• ARGOS

Mission Objectives

• To ensure the data continuity of Ocean colour and wind vector data to sustain the operational applications.
• To improve the applications, some additional datasets such as Sea Surface Temperature and more number of bands in Optical region for florescence and in Infrared region for atmospheric corrections are accommodated.
• To develop / improve related algorithms and data products to serve in well- established application areas and to enhance the mission utility.
