GSAT-32

Planned 2026

Planned replacement for GSAT-6A, which was lost in April 2018 when power failure cut contact before the satellite could complete its final orbit-raising burn. Also designated GSAT-N3, the satellite will provide S-band mobile communications for the Indian Armed Forces using an 18-metre unfurlable antenna.
