Information[edit]

Its mass during launch was 2,106 kg and dry mass was 946 kg. It revolves around Geostationary orbit with altitude of 35,786 and longitude of 93.5 degree east.[8] Its onboard power was 1,320 Watts with mission life of 7 years and its planned orbit life to be very long.[9]

Capabilities[edit]

It has capabilities like business communication, mobile satellite service and can make television outreach beyond boundary of India.[2][10]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
