The INSAT-3DS, a state-of-the-art meteorological satellite, is the latest addition to India’s third-generation satellites in geostationary orbit.Â

It follows the successful deployment of its predecessors, INSAT-3D and INSAT-3DR, which have been instrumental in enhancing weather observation and analysis since their respective launches, with INSAT-3DR having been operational since September 2016.

The INSAT-3DS is equipped with advanced payloads designed to provide more accurate and timely data on atmospheric conditions.Â

This enhancement in meteorological services is expected to significantly benefit various sectors, including agriculture, aviation, and disaster management, by enabling better preparedness for weather-related challenges.

The launch will be carried out using the GSLV-MkII rocket, which will deploy the spacecraft in the geostationary transfer orbit, to be raised into a geostationary orbit.Â
