Which of the following statements regarding the EOS-09 satellite and its orbit is/are correct? 1. EOS-09 is a C-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellite designed for day and night Earth observation. 2. A Sun-Synchronous Polar Orbit ensures that the satellite passes over any given point of the Earth's surface at the same local solar time.

Question

Accepted Answer

C. Both 1 and 2 — Statement 1 is correct as EOS-09 (RISAT-1B) utilizes C-band SAR for all-weather, day-and-night imaging. Statement 2 is correct as a Sun-Synchronous Polar Orbit maintains consistent solar illumination conditions, which is crucial for Earth observation.
