Anand

The Anand Nano satellite is a technology demonstrator intended to demonstrate the capabilities and commercial applications of miniaturized earth-observation cameras for Earth observation using a microsatellite in Low Earth Orbit. This is a three-axis stabilized satellite consisting of a satbus, accommodating all subsystems like telemetry, tele-command, Electrical Power system, Attitude Determination and Control System (ADCS), onboard computers, etc, and a payload unit.

EOS-06

EOS-06, also named Oceansat-3, is an Indian satellite designed to provide service continuity for operational users of the Ocean Colour Monitor (OCM) instrument on Oceansat-2. It will also enhance the potential of applications in other areas. The main objectives of OceanSat-3 are to study surface winds and ocean surface strata, observation of chlorophyll concentrations, monitoring of phytoplankton blooms, and study atmospheric aerosols and suspended sediments in the water.
