INSAT Series

About Chandrayaan Missions Aditya L1 Aryabhata INSAT GSAT MOM Astrosat Gaganyaan

The Indian National Satellite System (INSAT) is a series of multipurpose geostationary satellites launched by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). The first INSAT satellite, INSAT-1A, was launched in 1982, and the series has since grown to include 23 satellites.

The INSAT satellites provide a wide range of services, including:

Telecommunications
Broadcasting
Meteorology
Disaster management
Search and rescue

The INSAT satellites are in geostationary orbit, meaning that they appear to be stationary in the sky from the Earth's surface. This allows them to provide continuous coverage of a large area.

The INSAT satellites have played a vital role in India's development. They have helped to improve communication, provide access to information, and enhance disaster management capabilities.

INSAT-1 series

The INSAT-1 series consisted of two satellites, INSAT-1A and INSAT-1B. These satellites were built by Ford Aerospace and were launched in 1982 and 1983, respectively. The INSAT-1 satellites provided telecommunications, broadcasting, and meteorological services.

INSAT-2 series

The INSAT-2 series consisted of four satellites, INSAT-2A, INSAT-2B, INSAT-2C, and INSAT-2D. These satellites were built by Ford Aerospace and were launched between 1992 and 1997. The INSAT-2 satellites provided telecommunications, broadcasting, meteorological, and disaster management services.

INSAT-3 series

The INSAT-3 series consists of nine satellites, INSAT-3A, INSAT-3B, INSAT-3C, INSAT-3D, INSAT-3E, INSAT-3K, INSAT-3R, INSAT-3D, and INSAT-3DS. These satellites are built by ISRO and are being launched between 2000 and 2023. The INSAT-3 satellites provide telecommunications, broadcasting, meteorological, disaster management, search and rescue, and mobile services.

INSAT-4 series

The INSAT-4 series consists of two satellites, INSAT-4A and INSAT-4B. These satellites were built by ISRO and were launched in 2005 and 2007, respectively. The INSAT-4 satellites provide telecommunications, broadcasting, meteorological, and disaster management services.

INSAT-GSAT series

The INSAT-GSAT series consists of a number of satellites that are being developed by ISRO. These satellites will provide a wide range of services, including telecommunications, broadcasting, meteorological, disaster management, and mobile services.

The INSAT series of satellites has played a vital role in India's development. They have helped to improve communication, provide access to information, and enhance disaster management capabilities. The INSAT satellites will continue to play an important role in India's future development.
