The GSAT series of geosynchronous satellites is a system developed by ISRO with an objective to make India self-reliant in broadcasting services. The system includes a total of 168 transponders (out of which 95 are leased out to provide services to broadcasters) in the C, Extended C and K u bands, providing services to telecommunications, television broadcasting, weather forecasting, disaster ...
INSAT 1B. The Indian National Satellite System or INSAT, is a series of multipurpose geostationary satellites launched by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) to satisfy telecommunications, broadcasting, meteorology, and search and rescue operations.
On 5 July 2017, ISRO and Israel Space Agency (ISA) signed an Memorandum of Understanding to collaborate on space qualifying a Rubidium Standard based on AccuBeat model AR133A and to test it on an ISRO satellite. [6] The clocks are utilised by the NVS series of satellites. [24]
GSAT-29 is a high-throughput communication satellite developed by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). [4] [5] The mission aims at providing high-speed bandwidth to Village Resource Centres (VRC) in rural areas. [6]
ISRO had two running projects for next generation rockets based on SLV: ASLV to study and develop technologies to transfer satellites into geostationary orbit. PSLV to transfer higher payloads into polar and Sun synchronous orbits. ISRO did not have enough funds to run both projects simultaneously.
A Data Relay Satellite System (DRSS) facilitates continuous real-time communication between Low Earth orbit bound spacecraft to the ground station as well as inter-satellite communication. Such a satellite in geostationary orbit can track a low altitude spacecraft up to almost half of its orbit.
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.

GSAT-3, also known as EDUSAT, was a communications satellite which was launched on 20 September 2004 by the Indian Space Research Organisation. EDUSAT is the first Indian satellite built exclusively to serve the educational sector. It is mainly intended to meet the demand for an interactive satellite-based distance education system for the ...
