![]() ![]() ![]() Some of the satellites also have the Very High Resolution Radiometer (VHRR), CCD cameras for meteorological imaging. ![]() INSAT satellites provide transponders in various bands to serve the television and communication needs of India. The overall coordination and management of INSAT system rests with the Secretary-level INSAT Coordination Committee. It is a joint venture of the Department of Space, Department of Telecommunications, India Meteorological Department, All India Radio and Doordarshan. Commissioned in 1983, INSAT is the largest domestic communication system in the Indo-Pacific Region. The RISAT-1A flight will be followed by the launch of three satellites - OCEANSAT-3, INS-2B, ANAND- by PSLV-C53 in March and Micro SAT by the newly developed small rocket Small Satellite Launch Vehicle (SSLV) in April.įurther, the launch of four ton communication satellite GSAT-24 is also scheduled during the first quarter of this year using Ariane 5 rocket owned by Arianespace.The Indian National Satellite System or INSAT, is a series of multipurpose geostationary satellites launched by ISRO to satisfy the telecommunications, broadcasting, meteorology, and search and rescue operations. The technology demonstrator satellite (INS-2TD) from ISRO, which is a precursor to India-Bhutan Joint Satellite (INS-2B) carries a thermal imaging camera to assess land/water surface temperature of wetlands/lakes, delineation of vegetation (crops/forests) and day/night thermal inertia. The satellite carries two scientific payloads to improve the understanding of ionosphere dynamics and the sun's coronal heating process. The other contributors are NTU, Singapore and NCU, Taiwan. The INSPIREsat-1 is a student satellite from Indian Institute of Space Science & Technology (IIST) in association with Laboratory of Atmospheric & Space Physics at University of Colorado, USA. The satellite has high data handling systems and high storage devices among other things. The satellite will play a strategic role in the nation's defence with its capability to operate in day, night and in all weather conditions. ![]()
