ISRO to launch Brazil’s Amazonia-1 satellite onboard PSLV in August 2020

The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) is all set to launch Brazil’s Amazonia-1 satellite in August 2020 onboard The Polar Satellite Launch vehicle (PSLV). However, there is no confirmed date yet and the launch will be dependent on ISRO’s schedule.
The Brazilian satellite has been locally designed and tested in Brazil. It will be the first satellite for Earth observation, it will also be primary payload and will not be a hitch hiking satellite.
The Amazonia-1 satellite which PSLV will launch will help in monitoring and observing the deforestation of the Amazon region.
