By India Today Web Desk: Weeks after arriving at the spaceport on French Guiana, the GSAT-24 hitched a ride onboard Ariane-5 to go to space. The rocket lifted off from the Kourou, French Guiana, and placed the satellite into a geostationary transfer orbit. The mission also carried MEASAT-3d, a multi-mission telecommunications satellite built by Airbus Defence and Space. GSAT-24 is a communications satellite built for New Space India Limited (NSIL) by the Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro). This is the first demand-driven satellite configured by Isro, owned, operated, and funded by NSIL for commercial users. The satellite will provide high-quality television, telecommunications, and broadcasting services and will meet the DTH needs of Indian customers. The Ariane-5 lifted off from the Guiana Space Center at 06:50 pm local time to successfully complete its first mission of the year, and the 113th overall. Arianespace said that the launch will improve broadband coverage in the Asia-Pacific region. Following the launch Stéphane Israël, CEO of Arianespace said, With the orbiting of both MEASAT-3d, the fourth satellite that we’ve launched for the benefit of Malaysia, and GSAT-24, the 25th Indian satellite we’ve delivered for them, we are affirming our long-term partnership with these two great actors.” The satellite-based interactive education services for classroom connectivity will also be improved and the satellite will have applications in telecommunications and emerg...

Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO)’s NewSpace India Limited (NSIL) has successfully launched the GSAT-24 communication satellite. The satellite was carried onboard Europe’s Ariane-V VA257 flight launch vehicle from Kourou, French Guiana. Alongside India’s GSAT-24 satellite, the VA257 also carried Malaysia’s Measat-3d communication satellite. India’s GSAT-24 Communication Satellite Launched For the uninitiated, GSAT-24 is a 24 Ku band communication satellite designed for Direct-To-Home (DTH) use cases. Weighing 4180 kg, the satellite has a mission life of 15 years. Notably, Tata’s direct broadcast satellite service arm Tata Play has leased the entire satellite capacity for the entire 15 years. With the GSAT-24, the NSIL is taking a demand-driven model. “‘Demand-driven’ mode basically means when the satellite is launched, one will know who the end customers are going to be and what’s the kind of utilization and commitment so that you have very effective utilization of this satellite capacity once it goes into orbit”, an NSIL official told PTI. According to ISRO’s “Today’s successful mission of GSAT-24 is a major step forward for NSIL in commercially meeting the DTH communication needs of the country using indigenously built satellite solutions from ISRO,” said Dr. S Somanath, Secretary Department of Space.

GSAT-24 is scheduled for launch in the first quarter of 2022, from the Guiana Space Center, Europe’s Spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana, on one of the seven Ariane 5 missions remaining to be performed with the heavy-lift launcher. This Ku-band satellite is a 4-ton class communications satellite built by the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) and will be placed into Geostationary Transfer Orbit (GTO). Once orbited, GSAT-24 will provide high-quality television, telecommunications and broadcasting services. GSAT-24 satellite is the “1st Demand Driven communication satellite mission” undertaken by NSIL. “We are delighted that NSIL, for the first time since its creation in March 2019, has entrusted Ariane 5 with a new GTO satellite to deliver,” declared Stéphane Israël, CEO of Arianespace. “This contract is a new milestone in the long-time partnership linking Arianespace to India and its space agency ISRO that began in 1981 with our first joint success: APPLE satellite, launched on an Ariane 1. We proudly performed 24 launches for India, continuously and successfully supporting its institutions, businesses and population’s needs. We are thrilled to see this upcoming launch consolidate our relationship, which is a two-way street, with Indian launchers having orbited European satellites.” Filed...

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), on May 31, provided a key update on its upcoming mission, which is targeted for launch on June 22 this year. Named GSAT-24, it is a satellite mission that will take off in an Ariane 5 rocket from Europe’s Spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana. The satellite has been developed by NewSpace India Limited (NSIL), ISRO's commercial arm, for television service provider Tata Sky. "NewSpace India Limited (NSIL), a Govt. of India company under Department of Space (DoS) is undertaking GSAT-24 satellite mission as its 1st Demand Driven mission post space reforms", ISRO said in its latest update. The agency also revealed that the satellite is undergoing health and performance checks at cleanroom facilities in French Guiana as part of the launch campaign activities. ISRO's GSAT-24 satellite mission The GSAT-24 is a 24-Ku band communication satellite weighing 4,180 kg with Pan India coverage for meeting DTH application needs, says ISRO. The satellite will be launched in a rocket to be provided by Arianespace under an agreement that was made on September 28, 2021. In an official release by Arianespace, the company highlighted its "outstanding partnership" with ISRO as the new satellite will be the 25th to reach orbit in an Ariane rocket.

India's GSAT-24 (Geosynchronous Satellite) built by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) for NewSpace India Limited (NSIL), was successfully launched by French company Arianespace from Kourou in French Guiana (South America) on Thursday. Notably, this is a significant development as it was the first "demand-driven" communication satellite mission undertaken by NSIL post space sector reforms. The GSAT-24 is a 24-Ku band communication satellite weighing 4180 kg with pan-India coverage for meeting DTH (direct-to-home) broadcasting application needs, was launched on-board Ariane-V VA257 flight from the Guiana Space Centre, Europe's spaceport in Kourou. It is significant to mention that NSIL, a Government of India company under the Department of Space, which has taken its first commercial satellite launch mission has leased the entire satellite capacity to Tata Play. India's first demand-driven satellite mission built by ISRO for NSIL launched "GSAT-24 is a Ku-band 4-ton class communications satellite built by the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) for NewSpace India Limited (NSIL) that will provide high-quality television, telecommunications and broadcasting services across India. It will be the first “Demand-Driven” communications satellite mission undertaken by NSIL," Arianespace said in its press release. Along with GSAT-24, the French company also launched MEASAT-3d, a Malayasian communication satellite. It is pertinent to mention that both of the satellite...

BENGALURU: French firm Arianespace’s Ariane-5 launch vehicle that lifted off at 3.20am on Thursday from the Kourou spaceport in French Guiana put into orbit Space PSU NewSpace India Limited's (NSIL) GSAT-24 satellite about 40 minutes later. The satellite, which is NSIL’s first dedicated commercial satellite launch mission, is a dedicated satellite for Tata Play’s (formerly TataSky) direct-to-home (DTH) services. This is Arianespace's 25th Indian satellite and 11th in the GSAT series. While the lift-off was initially scheduled for 2.30am, the mission had a launch window between 2.30am and 4.13am on June 23 (IST) — or, 6.03pm and 7.43pm on June 22 Kourou time. However, at 2.28am, Arianespace made an announcement that “complementary checks have postponed the lift-off by a few minutes in the launch window”. It was later confirmed that the additional checks were precautionary following an anomaly being observed as the launch vehicle completed the mission successfully after a deferred lift. The Ariane-5 lifted off at 3.20am and as reported earlier by TOI, it was to launch two satellites — one for MEASAT, the Malaysian satellite operator, and the GSAT-24 for NSIL. For MEASAT, Arianespace launched the MEASAT-3d satellite, a multi-mission telecommunications satellite built by Airbus Defence and Space. India's GSAT-24 is a Ku-band 4-tonne class communications satellite built by Isro for NSIL. It will provide high-quality television, telecommunications and broadcasting services over ...
