Ariane-5. Centre Spatial Guyanais, Kourou. GSAT-16 is the twenty fourth communication satellite of India configured to carry a total of 48 transponders (12 K u, 24 C and 12 C ue, each with a bandwidth of 36 MHz [ 262 ]), which was the highest number of transponders in a single satellite at that time.
The GPS-aided GEO augmented navigation (GAGAN) is an implementation of a regional satellite-based augmentation system (SBAS) by the Government of India. [2] It is a system to improve the accuracy of a GNSS receiver by providing reference signals. [3] The Airports Authority of India (AAI)'s efforts towards implementation of operational SBAS can ...
The satellite has been developed at a cost of ₹ 1.25 billion (US$15 million), [3] [4] and was launched on 1 July 2013. It will provide IRNSS services to the Indian public, which would be a system similar to Global Positioning System (GPS) but only for India and the region around it.
INSAT-3DR is an Indian weather satellite built by the Indian Space Research Organisation and operated by the Indian National Satellite System. [2] It will provide meteorological services to India using a 6-channel imager and a 19-channel sounder, as well as search and rescue information and message relay for terrestrial data collection platforms.
