The Indian Space Research Organisation performed the first of three post-launch orbit-raising manoeuvres on the new GSAT-15 spacecraft in the early hours of Thursday.

The communication spacecraft was put in space on Wednesday morning from the French Guiana space port in South America.

Two more orbit corrections are slated for the next two days.

The Ku-band satellite is expected to be ready for use in a month once its orbital slot and functions are stabilised, according to an official.
