Re: Indian Navy Satellite
GSAT-7 is a multi-band communication satellite developed by Indian Space Research Organisation ISRO. The Indian Navy is the user of the multi-band home-built communication spacecraft, which has been operational since September 2013. The satellite will enable the navy to acquire blue water capabilities and need not depend on foreign satellites like Inmarsat. It is the multi-band communication satellite carries the payloads in UHF, C-band and Ku band. It is the first satellite by ISRO that will provide services to the Indian defence forces with the main user being the Indian Navy. GSAT-7 is the last of ISRO’s seven fourth-generation satellites.
