On August 27, India launched a multimedia communications satellite aimed at improving the Indian
military's ability to conduct network-centric warfare.
The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) launched the GSAT-6 satellite into orbit
at Sri Hrigoda, in the Bay of Bengal, using a home-grown geostationary satellite launch vehicle.
The third stage of the launch vehicle uses a home-designed cryogenic engine to launch the 2,117-kilogram communications satellite into a predetermined orbit
at an altitude of about 11 kilometers 17 minutes after launch, officials said.
The satellite has a nine-year operating life and helps voice, video and data communication
between mobile phones through 5 point beams emitted by the 6-meter-wide S-band spread antenna and C-band transponder on the satellite.
Kieran Kuma, president of the Space Research Organization, said the antenna was the largest they had ever done and that the main users of the satellite would be members of
the "strategic community.
" This will give them excellent opportunities to use communication devices
in remote areas.
GSAT-6 is the organization's 25th self-developed communications satellite and is part of its long-term plan to improve the capabilities of
the Indian military's automated command system.
ISRO also intends to launch India's Regional Navigation Satellite System to replace the American (and, to some extent, Russian) satellite transponders
it relies on.
