Indian National Satellite System (INSAT)

The Indian National Satellite System (INSAT) is a network of multipurpose geostationary satellites operated by India. Launched in 1982, INSAT supports various services, including telecommunications, broadcasting, meteorology, and search and rescue operations. The satellites are positioned high above the Earth, allowing them to stay in a fixed position relative to the planet's surface. This system enhances communication across the country, provides timely weather updates, and aids in disaster management, making it an essential component of India's infrastructure and development initiatives.
