Insat 4F (GSat 7)

GSAT-7 / INSAT-4F is proposed as a multi-band satellite carrying payloads in UHF, S-band, C-band and Ku-band. It is planned to be launched during 2009-10 by GSLV.

INSAT-4 series is planned to have seven satellites, INSAT-4A through INSAT-4G with INSAT-4D as a spare. The transponder capacity of this series has been worked out after evaluating the requirement projected by different uses/user departments. It is planned that, by 2007, INSAT system will have about 250 transponders in various bands catering to a demand of up to 11 Giga Bits Per Second (GBPS) capacity.
