GSAT-11 Mission
GSAT-11 is the next generation high throughput communication satellite configured around ISRO’s I-6K Bus. Weighing about 5854 kg, GSAT-11 is the heaviest satellite built by ISRO. The satellite is scheduled for launch onboard Ariane-5 launch vehicle from French Guiana. The satellite will be initially placed in the Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit and will subsequently be raised to Geostationary Orbit by firing the Liquid Apogee Motor onboard the satellite.
GSAT-11 will be located at 74° East and is the fore-runner in a series of advanced communications satellite with multi-spot beam antenna coverage over Indian mainland and Islands.
GSAT-11 will play a vital role in providing broadband services across the country. It will also provide a platform to demonstrate new generation applications.
Mission description by Arianespace:
For its 10th launch of 2018, and the sixth of the year using an Ariane 5 vehicle, Arianespace will serve the national ambitions of two major Asian space agencies by orbiting GSAT-11 for the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and GEO-KOMPSAT-2A for the Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI).
With this mission dedicated to space applications for telecommunications, weather and climate studies, Arianespace once again contributes to the improvement of life on Earth, especially in its most remote and isolated areas.
