The testbed aims to provide researchers and developers with access to quantum hardware to experiment with algorithms and develop new quantum applications.

The testbed is based on superconducting quantum computing technology, which is a leading approach for building scalable quantum computers.

The Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bengaluru, has operationalized India's first indigenous quantum computing testbed.

EOS-08 carries three payloads: Electro Optical Infrared Payload (EOIR), Global Navigation Satellite System-Reflectometry (GNSS-R), and SiC UV Dosimeter. It does not carry a Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR).

The primary objective of EOS-08 is to design and develop a microsatellite, create payload instruments compatible with the microsatellite bus, and incorporate new technologies required for future operational satellites.

EOS-08 was launched successfully by the third and final developmental flight of the Small Satellite Launch Vehicle (SSLV-D3).
