Summary

GSAT-19, also known as GSAT-19E, is a communication satellite launched by ISRO on June 5, 2017, from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SRILR) using the GSLV Mk III launch vehicle. The spacecraft has dimensions of 3.1 meters in length and 1.8 meters in diameter with a span of 20 meters due to its solar arrays. It uses the I-3K bus configuration, weighs 3136 kilograms at launch, and has a dry mass of 1394 kilograms. GSAT-19 is equipped with Ka-band and Ku-band transponders along with GRASP (GEO Imaging Replicated Aperture Space-based Radiometer), powered by two solar arrays and batteries. The satellite's operational lifetime is projected to be 10 years, and it was manufactured by ISAC for the purpose of communication services.
