NEW DELHI:After the announcement of Budget 2014
allocations,the space department
has laid down the future programme for 2020.The plan
envisages development of advanced launch vehicle systems,
thematic earth
observational satellites with improved resolution, high-power, high-throughput
communication satellites, microwave multi-
spectral remote sensing satellites, weather and
climate studies, constellation of satellites for
regional navigation, development of critical
technologies for human spaceflight and
satellites for space science and planetary
exploration purposes.
Fourteen of the 58 space missions slated in the
12th Five Year Plan, 2012-17 are linked to
communication. In addition, five launch
vehicle missions will also be linked to these
satellites.
GSAT-10, GSAT-15, GSAT-16, GSAT-17 and
GSAT-18 are specifically communication
satellites to augment the INSAT system with C
and Ku band transponders. GSAT-9 will be a
communication satellite to augment the INSAT
system with C band transponders. GSAT-14 and
GSAT-11S will be experimental communication
satellites, while GSAT-6 and GSAT-6A will be
multi-media mobile communication satellites
for strategic applications.
GSAT-7 is a communication satellite for special
users, and both GSAT-11 and GSAT-Ka are
advanced Ka band satellite for VSAT
communications. GSAT-19E is a new
generation experimental communication
satellite.
Close to Rs 1867 crore has been spent on the
five satellites meant for communication
launched in the last three years, out of the
total Rs 1987 crore allocated for this purpose.
It can be noted this amount was spent by 31
March this year.
According to sources in the Department of
Space, these satellites are GSAT-14 (launched
on 5 January this year), GSAT-7 (launched on
30 August last year to reach a wide area over
the oceans including the Indian mass),
GSAT-10 (launched on 29 September 2012 for
communication and navigation), GSAT-12
(launched on 15 July 2011) and GSAT-8
(launched on 21 May 2011 for communication
and navigation). http://www.indiantelevision.com/satellites/satelite-operators/over-rs-1860-crore-spent-on-15-communication-satellites-in-last-3-years-140712
