communication satellite

Gsat-11 is a high-throughput satellite that carries 40 transponders in the Ku-band and Ka-band frequencies.

ISRO has issued a Request For Proposal (RFP) to the private industry to build 30-35 satellites in a span of three years. Under the proposal, once companies pitch, around 4 to 5 of them would be selected. After due evaluation, these companies will be awarded parallel contracts.

The launched Sprites are successfully achieving low Earth orbit and communicating with systems on the planet.

The launch of GSAT-19, GSAT-11 and GSAT-20, will take place over 18 months and promises to transform connectivity around the country.

On November 11, at 3:04 am, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) successfully launched an indigenously made communications satellite GSAT-15, from the Kourou spaceport in French Guyana.
