GSAT-11 satellite is back once again at the Guiana Space Centre for an early December launch.
About:
GSAT-11 is an advanced communication satellite employing a new class of bus weighing 5,700 kg, making it the heaviest Indian communication satellite built to date.
The commercial payload includes Ka x Ku-Band Forward Link Transponders and Ku x Ka band Return Link Transponders.
It is built to provide the Indian region superior communication and 12 GBPS connectivity with its multiple spot beams in Ka and Ku bands.
The satellite is scheduled to be launched in December 2018 onboard Ariane-5 Launch Vehicle from the European spaceport in French Guiana. It is because ISRO's own GSLV Mk III rocket can only lift a satellite weighing not more than 4 tonnes to Geostationary transfer orbit.
It returns to the Guiana Space Centre, the South American port for the second time in six months. It was Recalled to Bengaluru in April for tests after GSAT-6A was lost in space.
