PM Modi hails ISRO's EOS-05 launch; IndiGo flight hits pole at Srinagar airport
Prime Minister Narendra Modi praised ISRO for the successful launch of GSLV-F17 carrying EOS-05, India's first imaging satellite from geostationary orbit. The 2,367-kg satellite was placed precisely in orbit, marking a major milestone for India's Earth-imaging capabilities and strengthening ISRO-industry collaboration.
In an unrelated incident, an IndiGo flight from Navi Mumbai to Srinagar hit a Visual Docking Guidance System pole while parking at Srinagar airport on Friday morning. Flight 6E 225 came into contact with the pole at Bay No. 06. The aircraft was damaged, but all passengers and crew remained safe.
