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. Commissioned in 1983, INSAT is the largest domestic communication system in the Indo-Pacific Region.
INSAT 1D was built by Ford Aerospace (now Loral Inc) for the Indian National Satellite System. [9] Initially, the launch was scheduled for 29 June 1989. Unfortunately, 10 days before that, during launch preparation, a launchpad hoist cable broke and a crane hook fell on it damaging its C-band reflector. The fully insured satellite was repaired ...
Alongside these developments, communication satellite technologies for the Indian National Satellite System [29] and the Indian Remote Sensing Programme for earth observation satellites [30] were developed and launches from overseas were initiated. The number of satellites eventually grew and the systems were established as among the largest ...
INSAT 1A. INSAT-1A was an Indian communications satellite which formed part of the Indian National Satellite System. Launched in 1982, it was operated in geostationary orbit at a longitude of 74° east. [3] Following a series of failures, the satellite was abandoned in September 1982, less than six months into a seven-year mission.
INSAT-2B (The Indian National Satellite system) was the second satellite in the INSAT 2 Series that was successfully launched for telecommunication and meteorological observation. This India satellite was launched on 23 July 1993 from Kourou, French Guiana and Ariane-4 being its launch vehicle. [1] INSAT-2B is placed in the geostationary orbit ...
The system was developed partly because access to foreign government-controlled global navigation satellite systems is not guaranteed in hostile situations, as happened to the Indian military in 1999 when the United States denied an Indian request for Global Positioning System (GPS) data for the Kargil region, which would have provided vital information.

Geocentric orbit. Regime. Geostationary orbit. INSAT. ← INSAT-3DR. INSAT-3DS is an Indian meteorological satellite built by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). The satellite is a follow on of INSAT-3DR mission. [3] The satellite was launched on 17 February 2024 at 17:35 IST from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre.
GSAT-6A →. GSAT-17 is an Indian communications satellite. Built by ISRO and operated by INSAT, it carries 24 C-band, 2 lower C-band, 12 upper C-band, 2 CxS (C-band up/ S-band down), and 1 SxC (S-band up/C-band down) transponders. It additionally carries a dedicated transponder for data relay (DRT) and search-and-rescue (SAR) services. [7]
