GSAT 10 in Active State
Dont want to make breaking news, just wanted to share a news article published in Times of India today dated 6 June 2014 Regarding "4 DD Educational channels go off Air" in which it is mentioned. Article stated in it..
On June 2, department of space sent a final notice to HRD ministry that transponder on INSAT-3C which serviced the four channels will be switched off immediately because of the mandatory requirements of strategic user. The strategic user in this case is Indian Navy that wanted eastern beam of GSAT-7 since one of its major war vessels will be going to Central Pacific Ocean for a multilateral exercise.
Department of space's ultimatum did not come in a vaccum. In June last year, ISRO informed Indira Gandhi National Open University that it has shifted Gyan Darshan channels from INSAT-3C to GSAT-10 satellite.
