India was able to fix glitches and operationalise its Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle with an indigenous upper stage and operationalise next generation launch vehicle LVM3 with nearly double payload capacity, enabled the country to launch nearly all of its communication satellites. India launched its delayed Moon mission Chandrayaan-2 ...
GSAT-11 is an Indian geostationary communications satellite. [3] [4] The 5854 kg [5] satellite is based on the new I-6K Bus and carries 40 transponders in the Ku-band and Ka-band frequencies (32 Ka × Ku-Band Forward Link Transponders and 8 Ku × Ka band Return Link Transponders), which are capable of providing up to 16 Gbit/s throughput.

ExseedSat-1 is the first Indian commercial satellite built by Satellize (formerly known as Exseed Space). It was a communication satellite launched by SpaceX's Falcon-9 rocket on 6 December 2018. [27] ExseedSat-2 (AISAT) is the second Indian commercial satellite built for Amsat India launched on the fourth stage of the PSLV-C45 mission. [28]
GSAT-20 (also known as CMS-03 or GSAT-N2) is a communication satellite developed by Indian Space Research Organization [4] and launched by a SpaceX Falcon 9. [3] The GSAT-20 satellite is funded, owned and operated by New Space India Limited. [5] The entire capacity onboard CMS-02 satellite was leased to Dish TV.
With the launch of PSLV-C37, Planet Labs increased its fleet of satellites to 143, which was the largest private satellite fleet in operation at the time. [2] [14] Eight Lemur-2 satellites belonging to Spire Global are to provide vessel tracking and weather measurement services. These satellites have a short lifetime of about two to three years ...
With multiple sub-sites the Sriharikota island facility acts as a launching site for India's satellites. [63] The Sriharikota facility is also the main launch base for India's sounding rockets. [64] The centre is also home to India's largest Solid Propellant Space Booster Plant (SPROB) and houses the Static Test and Evaluation Complex (STEX). [64]
ISITE Acoustic Test Facility - This facility was designed and commissioned by CSIR-National Aerospace Laboratories, Bangalore, for ISRO Satellite Centre (ISAC), Bangalore, on 7 April 2011. A 1500 Cu.m. Isolated Reverberation Chamber, which can qualify satellites up to 156 dB in Nitrogen atmosphere, is the largest and one-of-its kind in India.
Such a satellite in geostationary orbit can track a low altitude spacecraft up to almost half of its orbit. India operates one of world's largest remote sensing satellites systems. Visibility of these satellites is not more than 10–15 minutes in a day and sometimes even lower.
