This satellite carries Ku band and Ka band payloads which will improve the communication in remote areas especially for people living in Jammu and Kashmir and North-Eastern regions. It’s Q/V band communication payload which is configured for demonstrating at higher frequency bands and Feo-stationary high-resolution camera which will help in carrying out high-resolution images. The optical communication payload will demonstrate a high rate of data transmission via the optical communication link.
GSAT 29 was launched on 14 November 2018 through rocket GSLV Mk III which is ISRO’s fifth-generation three stage heavy lift launch vehicle. It is capable of carrying satellites weighing 4000 kg in GTO.
The launch of GSAT 29 is a milestone in Indian technology as India’s heaviest launcher GSLV Mk III lifted India’s heaviest satellite GSAT 29. It will improve communication in rural areas and will boost the Digital India Mission.
