NEW DELHI: Isro will get its communication satellite Gsat-31 launched from French Guiana.The Isro chief told TOI, “Arianespace will launch Gsat-31 on February 6. The satellite will replace Insat-4CR, whose life is expected to end soon.” Sivan said, “Though Gsat-31 is not a heavy satellite (2,600kg), we are using the services of Arianespace as it is an emergency launch to replaced the dying Insat satellite so that communication services are not affected. Gsat-31 satellite can only be launched with GSLV Mk III. But our MK III rockets are already booked for Chandrayaan-2 and other important missions. We don’t have spare GSLV vehicle for Gsat-31.”He said that “Arianespace will also launch Gsat-30 in June.” This satellite will replace another dying satellite Insat-4A to ensure continuity of several services. It will provide high-quality television, telecommunication and broadcasting services.Sivan said, “The next PSLV C45 mission will take place in March. It will carry a DRDO payload Anisat.”
