GSAT-31 is the 40th communication satellite of India which is configured on ISRO’s enhanced I-2K Bus, utilising the maximum bus capabilities of this type. This satellite will augment the Ku-band transponder capacity in Geostationary Orbit.
Weighing about 2535 kg, GSAT-31 will provide continuity to operational services on some of the in-orbit satellites. The satellite derives its heritage from ISRO’s earlier INSAT/GSAT satellite series. The satellite provides Indian mainland and island coverage.
GSAT-31 is scheduled for launch onboard Ariane-5 launch vehicle (VA 247) from French Guiana.
