The INSAT program was established in 1983 as a joint venture between Indian government departments to create India's national satellite system. INSAT is the largest domestic communication system in Asia Pacific, consisting of 11 operational satellites providing television, communication, meteorology, and other services to India. Key INSAT satellites include EDUSAT for educational services and those providing disaster warning, weather forecasting, and telemedicine applications.

2. INDIAN NATIONAL SATELLITE
SYSTEM(INSAT)
 The national satellite system, established in 1983 ,
is joint venture of the Indian department of space ,
DOS , the department of telecommunication (DOT),
the Indian meteorological department (IMD), all
Indian radio (AIR) and doordarshan (DD.)
 It is largest communication system in world.
 It serves the television and communication needs of
India.
 It carries 199 transponders and high resolution
radiometer(VHRR) and CCD cameras for
metrological imaging.

3. FEATURES OF INSAT SATELLIATE
 INSAT was a multipurpose satellite system for telecommunication ,
broadcasting, metrology and search and rescue services.
 INSAT was largest domestic communication system in Asia pacific region with
11 stellates in operation.
 INSAT is a series of multiparous geo-stationary satellites launched by ISRO.
 EDUSAT , launched by geo synchronous launch vehicle,(GSLV-F01)in
September 2004,is India's first thermatic satellite dedicated exclusively for
educational services.
 INSAT is being used to provide educational TV(ETV)service for primary school
children in various languages.
 INSAT provided facility of telemedicine.
 INSAT has been a major catalyst for the expansion of television coverage in
India.

4. INSAT SEREIS
 Oct. 1982 first satellite in INSAT series launched: INSAT 1A-
MISSION abandoned due technical failure.
 Aug 1983 INSAT 1B operational until 1990.
 July 1988 INSAT 1C abandoned 1989 due to power system
failure.
 June 1990 INSAT 1D last in the first INSAT series.
 June 1992 INSAT 2A first multipurpose Indian communication
satellite becomes fully operational.
 Launches of INSAT series satellite continue approximately
every two to three years.

5. INSAT TODAY
 Todays INSAT has 11 operational satellite.
 In keeping with Dr.sarabhai’s vision INSAT
sat com application now include..
 Telemedicine connects rural health care
facilities with modern urban medical centers.
 INSAT is also providing disaster warning to
the receiver installed along the cyclone-
prone East cost of the country.
 INSAT has improved the weather
forecasting.

6. INDIAN CONTRBUTION TO
SATALLITE APPLICATION
• INDAIN space programme driven by
vision of Dr.vikram sarabhai consider
as the father of Indian space
programme.
• Vikram sarabhai was the founder of
first Indian space center named as
vikram sarabhai space center which is
now known as ISRO.
• India also launched its own APPLE
(Ariane Passenger payload
Experiment), an experimental
communication satellite.

7. ABDUL KALAM FOR
I.S.R.O
• Before his term as president , he worked as
an aerospace engineer with Defence
Research and Development Organization
(DRDO) and Indian space Research
Organization(ISRO).
• Kalam is popularly known as the Missile
Man of India for his work on the
development of ballistic missile and launch
vehicle technology.
• Kalam a man with no authority over nuclear
physics but who just carried on the works of
Homi J. Bhabha and Vikram Sarabhai.
• A.P.J. Abdul kalam was the director of
India’s first Indigenous satellite launch
vehicle (SLV-3).

11. PERFORMANCE OF
INSAT Television reaches to about 85 percent of the population through
over 1000 TV transmitters linked via INSAT.
 Educational programmes for over 100 hours are telecast every
week.
 INSAT system has become a powerful tool for training and
developmental education and is used by various agencies to
provide continuing education, conduct in-situ training.
 A pilot project that started in November , 1996 in a tribal district of
Madhya Pradesh in Central India is now in progress to educate the
tribal community on various aspects of health, hygiene, family
planning, women’s rights, etc.

12. Conclusion:
 Space-based technologies play an increasingly critical role in
the maintenance and development of national and international
infrastructures. More than 130 states have interests at stake
either as space-faring nations or indirectly benefiting from the
use of commercial satellites. INSAT for communication services
and Indian Remote sensing(IRS) satellite for management of
natural resources. Here Geostationary satellite launch vehicle is
used for launching INSAT Type of satellite.
