Ariane 5 is an awesome vehicle, I wish isro will built such a machine so that we can compete in global sat launching business

I think previously no useful channel was on this satellite. If it is a C-Band satellite then I must say it is just a waste of money.

No For Insat4a Replacement Is GSAT-30 Which Will Launch Probly June Or July So No Chance For TS Using Gsat-31
See Satelite Geological Location It's Different While Insat4A Is 83' Degree East So Next TS Satelite IS GSAT-30

GSAT 31 is at 83E.. (per lyngsat.com/asia.html). Replacement for INSAT 4A?
Good economics by ISRO??
