India to enjoy more than 100 Gbps internet speed very Soon
Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) is planning to
high-speed internet connectivity in the country with the launch of heavy-duty
communication satellites.
If you are upset with Slow Speed of Internet, then ISRO has
solved this problem. India Space Research Organization (ISRO) has claimed that
by the year 2019, high-speed internet speed will be provided in India. For this
ISRO 4 will launch heavy-duty communication satellite. During the 9th
Convocation of Gitam University, Dr. K. Sivan, chairman of India Space Research
Organization (ISRO), said that in the next few years, users will be able to
access high-speed gigabyte broadband services in the country.
Government approves Rs 10,900 crores:
In addition, Siwan said that GSAT-19 has been
launched by ISRO in June 2017. At the same time, GSAT-11 and GSAT-29
this year and GSAT-20 will be launched next year. All of these are quite
satellites and they are able to provide high bandwidth connectivity of more
than 100Gbps across the country. ISRO has also conceded that the Government of
India has 30 PSLVs and 10 GSLV has sanctioned Rs 10,900 crore for Mk-3. These
will be launched in the next 4 years. These are included in more than 50
specrafts, which are preparing to launch the agency. Siwan also told how the
government is investing in space research.
India in second place in Internet user base:
In terms of 500 million Internet user base, India is second
in the world. But in the case of broadband India is ranked 76th in the world.
At the same time, talking about mobile internet speed, India is at 109th place.
This data was released in the SpeedTest Global Index by Oklet last year.
Speaking of average mobile speed, it is 8.8Mbps in India. At the same time,
Broadband speed is 18.82Mbps.
GSAT-11
GSAT-11 is an
advanced communication satellite employing a new
class of bus weighing 4000-6000 Kg. The commercial payload
includes Ka x Ku-Band Forward Link Transponders and Ku x Ka band Return Link
Transponders.
GSAT-19
GSAT-19 satellite with a lift-off mass of 3136 kg, is the
communication satellite of India, configured around the ISRO’s standard I-3K
bus.
GSAT-19 carries Ka/Ku-band high throughput communication
transponders. Besides, it carries a Geostationary Radiation Spectrometer
(GRASP) payload to monitor and study the nature of charged particles and the
influence of space radiation on satellites and their electronic components.
GSAT-19 also features certain advanced spacecraft technologies including
miniaturised heat pipe, fibre optic gyro, Micro Electro-Mechanical Systems
(MEMS) accelerometer, Ku-band TTC transponder, as well an indigenous
Lithium-ion Battery.
GSAT-19 satellite was launched by GSLV Mk III-D1 on Monday,
June 05, 2017 from the Second Launch Pad (SLP) at Satish Dhawan Space Centre
SHAR (SDSC SHAR), Sriharikota.
GSAT-20
GSAT-20 is a communication satellite jointly being developed
by Indian Space Research Organisation Satellite Centre and Liquid Propulsion
Systems Centre and will be launched by ISRO. GSAT-20 will be a continuation of
GSAT series of communication satellites. The satellite is intended to add data
transmission capacity to the communication infrastructure required by Smart
Cities Mission of India.
It will be the first fully Electric Propulsion/EP enabled
satellite which can be five to six times more efficient than chemical-based
propulsion. It will be the first ISRO made satellite to move from Geostationary
transfer orbit to Geosynchronous orbit using Electric Propulsion.
GSAT-29
GSAT-29 is configured around ISRO’s Enhanced I-3K Bus
and will be the payload for second
developmental flight of GSLV-MkIII. It carries Ka x Ku multi-beam and optical
communication payloads for the first time. The mission targets for Village
Resource Centres (VRC) in
rural areas to
bridge the digital divide.
GSLV-MkIII-D2/GSAT-29 Mission is scheduled to be launched
during the second half of 2018.
GSLV Mk III
GSLV Mk III is a three-stage heavy lift launch vehicle
developed by ISRO. The vehicle has two solid strap-ons, a core liquid booster
and a cryogenic upper stage.
GSLV Mk III is designed to carry 4 ton class of satellites
into Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit (GTO) or about 10 tons to Low Earth Orbit
(LEO), which is about twice the capability of GSLV Mk II.The two strap-on motors of GSLV Mk III are located on either
side of its core liquid booster. Designated as ‘S200’, each carries 205 tons of
composite solid propellant and their ignition results in vehicle lift -off .
S200s function for 140 seconds. During strap-ons functioning phase, the two
clustered Vikas liquid Engines of L110 liquid core booster will ignite 114 sec
after lift -off to further augment the thrust of the vehicle. These two engines
continue to function after the separation of the strap-ons at about 140 seconds
after lift -off.
The first experimental flight of LVM3, the LVM3-X/CARE
mission lifted off from Sriharikota on December 18, 2014 and successfully
tested the atmospheric phase of flight. Crew module Atmospheric Reentry
Experiment was also carried out in this flight. The module reentered, deployed
its parachutes as planned and splashed down in the Bay of Bengal.
The first developmental flight of GSLV Mk III, the GSLV-Mk
III-D1 successfully placed GSAT-19 satellite to a Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit
(GTO) on June 05, 2017 from SDSC SHAR, Sriharikota.
POLAR SATELLITE LAUNCH VEHICLE
Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) is the third
generation launch vehicle of India. It is the first Indian launch vehicle to be
equipped with liquid stages. After its first successful launch in October 1994,
PSLV emerged as the reliable and versatile workhorse launch vehicle of India
with 39 consecutively successful missions by June 2017. During 1994-2017
period, the vehicle has launched 48 Indian satellites and 209 satellites for
customers from abroad.
Besides, the vehicle successfully launched two spacecraft –
Chandrayaan-1 in 2008 and Mars Orbiter Spacecraft in 2013 – that later traveled
to Moon and Mars respectively
GEOSYNCHRONOUS SATELLITE LAUNCH VEHICLE (GSLV)
Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle Mark II (GSLV Mk II)
is the largest launch vehicle developed by India, which is currently in
operation. This fourth generation launch vehicle is a three stage vehicle with
four liquid strap-ons. The indigenously developed cryogenic Upper Stage (CUS),
which is flight proven, forms the third stage of GSLV Mk II. From January 2014,
the vehicle has achieved four consecutive successes.
