GSAT Template Edit

Bro

from where you know these Planned launches especially GSAT-UHF, etc. Abdullah1099 (talk) 08:47, 14 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, @Abdullah1099, for all the rest check out GSAT page. I am not sure who added GSAT-UHF, it was already there when I editted. I was myself confused about it. Feel free to remove it and any other GSAT missions you think to be irrelevant.

Have a good day. Manav2311 (talk) 08:51, 14 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Also GSAT-6A was lost in April 2018. Thus, I added it to Past missions. I am not sure about the ALL the Active missions too. We have to check all of them and update the template and their pages respectively. Please help me in doing so yourself if you have time. I am a little busy till November now.

Bro i mean does any of the upcoming ones have any references Abdullah1099 (talk) 10:59, 14 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

K Sivan, secretary, DoS, said: “...We are already in advanced talks for GSAT-22 which will be for another major DTH provider. Aside from this, customers have been identified for GSAT-20, 23 and 32 but we cannot reveal the names at this juncture as the talks are still at the initial stages.” Space PSU NSIL to launch 4 more demand-driven communication satellites - Times of India Manav2311 (talk) 13:41, 18 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Bro, I know they already told they are working on GSAT-20, 22, 23 and 32 but from where you got the other ones, that i want to know. Abdullah1099 (talk) 14:55, 18 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Although IDK why NSIL website doesn't have specific GSAT satellite by names in its tenders pages. What I mean to say is that they don't openly say in tenders that so and so GSAT tender is won by so and so company/corp/gov. agency. Also, this reference only confirms like 3 of them, rest of them I think are still with ISRO so probably U R Rao Satellite Centre will build in like the next 3-4 years, and we'll get the confirmation then. Manav2311 (talk) 13:46, 18 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Found something interesting going on for GSAT-32. DRDO has an ongoing tender for "Development And Testing Of Satellite Terminals For Gsat 32/N3". So that confirms that we'll be seeing more on this within the next 3 months or so before actual launch date is announced by Feb 2026 (totally my viewpoint) Manav2311 (talk) 14:02, 18 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Other than those four planned satellite and some GSAT-7 series satellites i can't find any other planned satellite. Of course they could be working on them but they don't put it on public. So other ones should not be put. Abdullah1099 (talk) 14:57, 18 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I absolutely agree that the others, specifically GSAT 21 and GSAT 25 to 28 should be removed even from GSAT page too. But I think this is a matter of continuity here. See until GSAT 19, all launches were numbered accordingly, and no number was missing (and if it was missing ISRO filled it by 2018 [eg. GSAT-11]). After that NSIL was incorporated in March 2019, so ISRO left GSAT 20 to 28 for NSIL thus the GSAT N series was started. Then GSAT 29 to 31 were launched between November 2018 and January 2020. So, as you can clearly see either NSIL/ISRO would have to now launch GSAT 21 and GSAT 25-28 to cover the gaps and I think they absolutely would because they did so before too. It's just that because of all these replacement satellites like 12R and 7R, other ones are getting delayed. However, if you think that 21,25-28 should be removed feel free to do so, I agree completely with you that no public info. on these has been released till date. [P.S. What is GSAT-UHF ?? We have to remove that too from GSAT page.] Manav2311 (talk) 10:25, 25 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I am glad you understood what i want to tell. Abdullah1099 (talk) 11:55, 25 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

In the News OSIRIS-REx performed a gravity assist around Earth at an altitude of 3,442 kilometres (2,139 mi) on 23 September.
Article of the month Project POSTAR Project POSTAR was the first space experiment created entirely by members of the Boy Scouts of America. On September 12, 1992, Space Shuttle Endeavour mission STS-47 carried 10 Get Away Special (GAS) canisters. Amongst these GAS cansisters was G-102 sponsored by the Boy Scouts of America's Exploring Division in cooperation with the TRW Systems Integration Group, Fairfax, Virginia. The project was named Project POSTAR. (The name was a combination of the words "Post" and "Star").	Image of the month Space Shuttle Enterprise The Space Shuttle Enterprise (OV-101) was the first orbiter built in the Space Shuttle program. Designed for atmospheric test flights, it lacked both engines and a heat shield, making it unable to go to space. Rolled out on 17 September 1976, it was initially named Constitution, but was renamed following a large letter-writing campaign from Trekkies. Unlike its eponym, the USS Enterprise from the original Star Trek series, OV-101 never achieved spaceflight; originally intended to be refitted to become the second space-rated orbiter after Columbia, changes to the design of the Space Shuttle made it both simpler and cheaper to instead construct a new shuttle, Challenger, around a test article. It was later considered for refitting following the Challenger disaster, but it was instead decided to build a replacement, Endeavour, out of spare parts from the construction of Discovery and Atlantis. Enterprise flew a total of five times, from 12 August to 26 October, 1977. It was then flown to Marshall Space Flight Center in Alabama, where it was placed into the Saturn V dynamic test stand for the Mated Vertical Ground Vibration Testing, in order to test the Space Shuttle's launch stack. It was then used for a variety of fit checks at Kennedy Space Center and Vandenberg Air Force Base, between which it toured Europe and North America, including a showing at the 1984 Louisiana World Exposition. It was then moved to the Smithsonian Institution's National Air and Space Museum on 18 November 1985. It was then moved to its present location aboard the USS Intrepid museum ship on 12 December 2011.

In the News On 13 November, the ESCAPADE spacecraft SIMPLEx-4A (Blue) and SIMPLEx-4B (Gold) were launched on board a New Glenn rocket. They will orbit Earth at its L2 point until the Mars transfer window opens in late 2026. On the second flight of New Glenn, the first stage, "Never Tell Me the Odds," landed on the drone ship Jacklyn on 13 November. This made New Glenn the first orbital-class booster capable of landing propulsively not manufactured by SpaceX. As a result of damage caused by space debris, China's Shenzhou 20 was rendered unusable for returning its crew back to Earth. The crew instead returned on board the Shenzhou 21 craft on 14 November, with Shenzhou 22 being launched uncrewed on 25 November to serve as a return vessel for the crew of Shenzhou 21. On 27 November, Baikonur Cosmodrome Site 31, the only launch site used by Russia to reach the ISS, was significantly damaged during the launch of Soyuz MS-28.
Featured Content The image "NASA's Ingenuity helicopter on Mars" was promoted to Featured Media status on 23 October. It was nominated by WhatADrag07.
Article of the month Zond 6 Zond 6 was a formal member of the Soviet Zond program, and an unpiloted version of the Soyuz 7K-L1 crewed Moon-flyby spacecraft. It was launched on a lunar flyby mission on November 10, 1968, from a parent satellite (68-101B) in Earth parking orbit. The spacecraft carried a biological payload of turtles, flies, and bacteria. It also carried scientific probes including cosmic ray, micrometeoroid detectors, and photographic equipment. The mission was a precursor to a crewed circumlunar flight which the Soviets hoped could occur in December 1968, thus beating the American Apollo 8. However, after rounding the Moon on November 14, Zond 6 crashed on its return to Earth, due to a parachute failure when the parachute was detached from the capsule too early.	Image of the month Explosion on the Cygnus CRS Orb-3 On 28 October, 2014, Cygnus Orb-3 was launched at 22:22:38 UTC. 15 seconds after liftoff, one of the launch vehicle's AJ26 (modified NK-33s) ruptured, resulting in the craft falling. The mission was scrubbed eight seconds later at 22:23:01 UTC. The subsequent investigation found that the liquid oxygen turbopump exploded, severing nearby propellant lines. This resulted in a fire that damaged various engine components. The cause of the LOX turbopump's failure remains unknown.
