| Saksham | Re: The First Indian Educational Satellite Launched By ISRO First Indian Educational Satellite which was Launched By ISRO was EDUCAT. EDUSAT, launched on September 20, 2004, is the first Indian satellite built exclusively for serving the educational sector. It is mainly intended to meet the demand for an interactive satellite based distance education system for the country. It strongly reflects India’s commitment to use space technology for national development, especially for educating the population in remote and rural locations. The 1950 kg EDUSAT was launched from Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC) SHAR, Sriharikota, into a Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit (GTO) by ISRO’s Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV-F01). From GTO, EDUSAT was manoeuvred to 36,000 km high Geostationary Orbit (GSO) by firing, in stages, its on-board Liquid Apogee Motor. In GSO, the satellite is co-located with KALPANA-1 and INSAT-3C satellites at 74 deg East longitude. For more information you have to download attached brochure which is free for you. |
