The country's latest connection satellite, GSAT-N2 was successfully launched by billionaire Elon Musk-founded SpaceX from Cape Canaveral successful the US, ISRO's commercialized limb NSIL has said.
The 4,700kg GSAT-N2 High-throughput (HTS) outer onboard a Falcon 9 rocket has been injected into the desired orbit, NewSpace India Limited (NSIL) said.
"NSIL's GSAT-N2 High-throughput (HTS) Communication outer successfully launched from Cape Canaveral, USA connected 19th November 2024." "GSAT-N2 weighing 4700 kg has been injected into the desired Geo-synchronous Transfer Orbit (GTO) and ISRO's Master Control Facility (MCF) has taken power of the satellite. Preliminary information indicates outer successful bully health," NSIL said successful a station connected 'X.' The 2nd Demand Driven outer of NSIL, GSAT-N2 is simply a Ka-band High throughput connection outer that volition heighten broadband services and in-flight connectivity crossed the Indian region, NSIL said. GSAT-24 was NSIL's archetypal request driven outer and launched from Kourou, French Guiana connected June 23, 2022.
"This outer (GSAT-N2) featuring aggregate spot beams and wideband Ka x Ka transponders, aims to enactment a ample subscriber basal with tiny idiosyncratic terminals, boosting strategy throughput done its multi-beam architecture which allows frequence reuse," NSIL said.
The outer has a ngo beingness of 14 years and is equipped with 32 idiosyncratic beams, comprising 8 constrictive spot beams implicit the Northeast portion and 24 wide spot beams implicit the remainder of India.
"These 32 beams volition beryllium supported by hub stations located wrong mainland India," NSIL said.
The payload consists of 3 parabolic 2.5-meter deployable reflectors with aggregate feeds generating 32 spot beams implicit the Indian portion utilizing a azygous provender per beam configuration.
The GSAT-N2 spacecraft operation is based connected the modular Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP)-based I4K bus.
