GSAT-10 is a commercial Indian communications satellite owned by the Indian space agency ISRO .
It was launched into geostationary orbit along with Astra 2F on September 28, 2012 at 21:18 UTC with an Ariane 5 ECA launcher from the Center Spatial Guyanais in Kourou .
The three-axis stabilized satellite with 12 Ku-band - and 18 C-band - transponders fitted to and 83 degrees East from the position in co-location with INSAT-4A and 12 GSAT supply the Indian subcontinent with telecommunications services. The satellite carries four antennas with a diameter of 2.2, 2.2x2.4, 0.7 and 0.9 m in diameter. In addition, the satellite also carries the Indian GAGAN system to support GPS in India. Like the GSAT-8 , the satellite has a 0.8 × 0.8 meter antenna field with 16 elements each. GSAT-10 was based on the Indian I-3K - satellite bus built and has a design life of 15 years.
