All the 11 communication transponders (operating in UHF, S, C and Ku-bands) of India's advanced multiband communication satellite GSAT-7 have been successfully switched on and their performance is found to be normal.
A press release from Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) said GSAT-7 is now positioned at its designated orbital slot of 74 degrees East longitude in the geostationary orbit and In Orbit Testing (IOT) of the 11 transponders is in progress.
GSAT-7 was launched from the spaceport at Kourou in French Guiana in the early hours of August 30 by the Ariane-5 launch vehicle of Arianespace.
