Re: RE: GSAT-14 moved up further

Is there any dth who's going to use this satellite.

Btw good update kem siva brother.

All broadcasting satellites aren't launched for dth service provider. Broadcaster also require satellites to provide or uplink feed like live news reporting, live sports as well as normal programs etc. DTH company then down link all program from these satellites then compress encrypt then up link to their satellite. Only then u get the feed. So signals doesn't come to ur hone from one satellite it has to travel many satellites.

Gsat14 is the replacement satellite of Gsat3 (Edusat). The prime role of Gsat14 will be in the areas of tele-education and tele-medicine.

good update
its reached

when it will finish testing

 

[SivaG]

Yes. It almost reached. Slowly moving to 74 degree at the rate of 10m/s. Last night it was 20m/s. Speed reduced now. Latitude oscillating. Orbital period 1431m (should be 1436m for stabilized sat). So not properly stabilized yet.

I think within one or two days we can expect official news from isro.

GSAT-14 reaches its final geo-stationary home - The Hindu

M. Nageswara Rao, Project Director, GSAT-14, said on Saturday: “The satellite has reached its final orbit today at a height of 36,000 km and 74 degrees east longitude. The in-orbit testing committee will meet on Monday to decide when to switch on the satellite’s payloads. It will take 10 to 15 days after January 20 to make the satellite operational. It will be ready for use by February 5.”

The satellite carries 12 transponders and it will be useful for telecommunication, broadcasting television programmes, telemedicine and beaming tele-education programmes for college students.

After the GSLV-D5 put the 1,982 kg GSAT-14 into its initial elliptical orbit with a perigee of 179 km and an apogee of 35,950 km on January 5, ground controllers of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) boosted the orbit on January 6, 7 and 9 to a near-circular, geostationary orbit of almost 36,000 km.

After January 9, the satellite started slowly drifting and reached its final abode on January 18.

so success of GSLV -d5, cryogenic engine and satellite

 

[Sarkar]

Still need more thrust

 

[SivaG]

so success of GSLV -d5, cryogenic engine and satellite

payload not switched on. We should Wait till feb5...

 

[SivaG]

But according to n2yo website Gsat14 not stable. Still moving.
