About
About the Mission
- In its 16th mission, the GSLV aims to deploy the INSAT-3DS meteorological satellite into the Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit (GTO).
- Subsequent orbit-raising manoeuvres will ensure the satellite is positioned in a geo-stationary orbit.
- Mission objectives: The mission’s primary objectives are to
- monitor Earth’s surface
- carry out oceanic observations and its environment in various spectral channels of meteorological importance
- provide the vertical profile of various meteorological parameters of the atmosphere to provide the data collection and data dissemination capabilities from the Data Collection Platforms
- to provide satellite aided search and rescue services
INSAT-3DS Satellite
- INSAT-3DS Satelliteis a follow-on mission of Third Generation Meteorological Satellite from geostationary orbit.
- It is designed for enhanced meteorological observations and monitoring of land and ocean surfaces for weather forecasting and disaster warning.
- The satellite will augment the Meteorological services along with the presently operational INSAT-3D and INSAT-3DR satellites.
