ISRO launches EOS-05 earth observation satellite aboard GSLV-F17

ISRO successfully launched the Earth observation satellite EOS-05 on 4 September 2026 from Sriharikota. The satellite was carried by the GSLV-F17 rocket from the Second Launch Pad at the Satish Dhawan Space Centre. The launch was described as a significant step in India’s growing space capabilities. EOS-05 is part of the country’s earth-observation and strategic data ecosystem. The mission drew attention because it strengthens both civilian and strategic remote-sensing applications. It is likely to be relevant for exam questions on ISRO, satellite types, and launch vehicles.

India’s foreign exchange reserves rise to a record high of 74 billion dollars in a week

India’s foreign exchange reserves surged by 11.4 billion US dollars to a record high of 74 billion dollars in the week reported on 6 September 2026. Such a sharp rise is significant because foreign exchange reserves are a key indicator of external stability and the country’s ability to manage imports and currency volatility. The increase is relevant to economy-based current affairs questions, especially those related to the Reserve Bank of India and macroeconomic indicators. Reserve figures are often tested in exams along with terms like balance of payments and capital inflows. The record level suggests stronger external buffers at a time when global conditions remain uncertain. This makes the topic useful for banking and economy sections of competitive exams.
