3. Aryabhatta
Aryabhatta was India's first satellite, named
after the famous Indian astronomer. It was
launched on 19 April 1975 from Kapustin Yar,
a Russian rocket launch and development site
in Astrakhan Oblast using a Kosmos-3M launch
vehicle. It was built by the ISRO.

4. Rohini RS-1
It was launched on July 18, 1980 at 8:01:00.
Rohini is a series of satellites launched by the
Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). The
Rohini series consisted of four satellites, each of
which was launched by the Satellite Launch Vehicle.

5. SROSS-1
It was launched on March 24, 1987.
The Stretched Rohini Satellite Series (SROSS)
are a series of satellites developed by the Indian
Space Research Organisation as follow ons to
the Rohini Satellites for conducting astrophysics,
Earth Remote Sensing, and upper atmospheric
monitoring experiments as well as for new and
novel application-oriented missions.

6. INSAT-2C
It was launched on December 7, 1997 at 4:53:00.
The Indian National Satellite System or INSAT,
is a series of multipurpose geostationary
satellites launched by ISRO to satisfy
the telecommunications, broadcasting, meteorology
, and search and rescue operations.

7. GSAT-1
It was launched on April 18, 2001 at 15:43:00.
GSAT-1 was an experimental communications
satellite launched aboard the maiden flight of
the GSLV rocket. The spacecraft was equipped
with instrumentation to test Pulse-code
modulation (PCM) transmitting on S-band
frequencies and transponders operating in the C-
band.

8. INSAT-4B
It was launched on March 12, 2007 at 3:33:00.
INSAT-4B is an Indian communications
satellite which forms part of the Indian National
Satellite System. It is operated in geostationary
orbit at a longitude of 93.48° east. Built by
the Indian Space Research Organisation

9. South Asia Satellite
It was launched on May 5, 2017 at 16:57:00.
The South Asia Satellite (designated GSAT-9),
formerly known as SAARC Satellite, is
a geostationary communications and meteorology
satellite operated by the Indian Space Research
Organisation for the South Asian Association for
Regional Cooperation (SAARC) region.

10. HySIS
It was launched on November 29, 2018 at 4:27:30.
HySIS (Hyperspectral Imaging Satellite) is
an Earth observation satellite which will provide
hyperspectral imaging services to India for a range
of applications in agriculture, forestry and in the
assessment of geography such as coastal zones and
inland waterways. The data will also be accessible
to India's defence forces.

11. Cartosat-3
It was launched on November 29, 2019 at 9:28:00.
Cartosat-3 is an advanced Indian Earth
Observation satellite built and developed by ISRO,
which will replace the IRS series. It has a
panchromatic resolution of 0.25 metres making it
the imaging satellite with highest resolution in the
world and Mx of 1 metre with a high quality
resolution which is a major improvement from the
previous payloads in the Cartosat series.

12. GSAT-30
It was launched on January 16, 2020 at 21:05.
GSAT-30 is a telecommunication satellite
developed by the Indian Space Research
Organisation (ISRO). The satellite will provide
advanced telecommunication services to the
Indian subcontinent.
