Indian Space Research Organization (Isro) launched its latest communication satellite, GSAT-6A, which will provide mobile communication to India through multi beam coverage facility, on board GSLV-F08 from here

Isro said the satellite will provide services for defence purposes and will not add any transponder capacity for general uses

GSAT-6A’s predecessor GSAT-6 has been in orbit providing communication services since its launch almost three years ago in August 2015.

Isro’s GSLV-F08 rocket launched the satellite, marking its 12th flight sixth flight with indigenous Cryogenic upper stage.
