List of geostationary satellites

GSAT-14 is a commercial communications satellite of the Indian ISRO of the GSAT series.

He was born on January 5, 2014 at 10:48 UTC with a GSLV - carrier rocket from the launch site Sriharikota km into a transfer orbit with a perigee of 175, an apogee of 35,945 km and an inclination of 19.3 degrees. From there, the satellite reached its geostationary orbit with the help of its own engines . It was the first successful launch with this launcher after a series of four failures. There were problems with this mission too. The start was supposed to take place in August 2013, however, among other things, there was a huge leak in the fuel tank of the second stage that went unnoticed until the start, and several hundred liters of hydrazine leaked out. The launch vehicle used had some modifications (e.g. better aerodynamics and changed intermediate stage adapters) compared to the previous GSLV models.

The three-axis stabilized satellite is six Ku-band -, six extended C-band - and two Ka-band - transponders as well as one 2.0- and 2.2-m antenna and is equipped on the position of 74 degrees East India provide telecommunications services such as educational programs and telemedicine . It was based on the satellite bus I-2K built the ISRO and has a design life of 12 years.
