India’s newest space PSU NSIL’s first demand-driven communication satellite for Tata Sky will be launch by Arianespace on 22nd June 2022, the France-base satellite launch service providers said.
The Ku-Band four-tonne GSAT-24, develop by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) for NewSpace India Limited (NSIL), will provide high-quality television, telecommunications, and broadcasting services over India.
Arianespace Said :
“The first Ariane 5 of the year will orbit two geostationary telecommunication satellites, MEASAT-3d and GSAT-24,”.
It said the satellites will be launch for two long-standing Arianespace customers – MEASAT, the leading Malaysian satellite operator, and NewSpace India Limited (NSIL), a Government of India company under Department of Space (DOS).
Arianespace Said :
“This Ariane 5 launch from the Guiana Space Center, Europe’s Spaceport, is schedule for 22nd June 2022, during a launch window from 21:03 to 22:43 UTC,”.
MEASAT-3d, to be co-locate with MEASAT-3a and MEASAT-3b at the 91.5°E orbital slot, is a multi-mission telecommunications satellite built by Airbus Defence and Space.
Arianespace Said :
“This new satellite will significantly enhance broadband speeds of up to 100Mbps per user in areas with limited or no terrestrial network throughout Malaysia while continuing to provide redundancy and additional capacity for video distribution in HD, 4K, and ultimately 8K in the Asia-Pacific region,”.
NSIL had announced that entire satellite capacity on-board GSAT-24 will be lease to its committed customer Tata Sky for meeting their DTH application needs in 2021.
