GSAT-29 is a commercial communications satellite owned by the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO).
He was born on November 14, 2018 at 11:38 UTC with a GSLV Mk III - carrier rocket from the rocket launch site Satish Dhawan Space Center in a geostationary brought orbit. It is the heaviest geostationary satellite to have been launched into space with an Indian rocket.
The three-axis stabilized satellite is equipped with Ka-band and Ku-band transponders and is intended to provide telecommunications services from India (including the Kashmir region) from 55 ° East. The satellite is also equipped with a Q / V-band payload as a technology demonstrator for communication in higher frequency bands and a high-resolution camera. Furthermore, an experimental laser communication system between the ground and geostationary orbit is on board.
