The ISRO said it has successfully completed the three orbits-raising manoeuvres of communication satellite GSAT-30 on Monday, Which was launched on Jan 17 onboard Ariane 5 rocket from French Guiana. The space agency said the cumulative duration of operation of the propulsion syatem for these manoeuvres was two hours and 29 minutes. Due to these manoeuvres, the ISRO succeeded in placing the satellite in an orbit close to its operational orbit.
The satellite solar panels and antennas have been deployed and the satellite is placed in an orbit with a perigee of 35,826 KM and an apogee of 35,913 KM with an inclination of 0.11 degree, Which is very close to its operational orbit,' ISRO said in a statement. With a mission life of 15 years, GSAT-30 is an operational communication satellite for DTH, television uplink and VSAT services.
ISRO said "the communication payload of GSAT-30 is spcifically designed and optimised to maximise the number of transponders on the spacecraft bus.
GSAT-30 will provide DTH television services, connectivity to VSATs for ATM, stock-exchange, television uplinking and teleport services,Digital Satellite News Gathering (DSNG) and e-governance applications.The satellite will also be used for bulk data transfer for a host of emerging telecommunication applications, ISRO chairman K Sivan had said on the day of its launch.
