Share on FacebookShare on WhatsAppShare on Telegram

India has launched 118 satellites since 1975. Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) is responsible for India’s Space Program.In February 2017, ISRO has created a new record by launching 104 satellites in one go. Out of these 104 satellites, only 3 of these were Indian Satellites. These were launched by Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) – C37 on 15th February 2017.Earlier, this record was set by Russia in 2014 by launching 37 satellites in a single mission. US Space Agency NASA has launched 29 satellites in one go.ISRO launched many types of satellites. These include Indian Remote Sensing Satellites, GPS or Navigation Satellites, Spy Satellites, and Military Satellites etc. In this blog we will discuss the List of Satellites Launched by India.

GSAT-30 which was launched successfully on January 17, 2020, by ISRO has been in the news recently. GSAT-30 was launched by the vehicle Ariane-5 VA-251 into a Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit (GTO) from Kourou launch base, French Guiana. This satellite is launched by ISRO as a replacement for INSAT-4A and will provide advanced telecommunication services to the entire Indian subcontinent. GSAT-30 is the 41st communication satellite launched by ISRO and the 24th launch of ISRO satellite by Arianespace.The satellite is an artificial object which has been deliberately put into space for different purposes like remote sensing, weather forecasting, image mapping, education, and research. This article provides the complete list of satellites launched by India till 2020. This is an important topic for UPSC and other government exams. In this blog we will discuss the List of Satellites Launched by India.
