GSAT-17 is an Indian communication satellite launched by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) on June 5, 2016. It is designed to enhance telecommunication, television broadcasting, and broadband services across India. The satellite operates in the Ku-band frequency, which allows for efficient data transmission. The satellite is positioned in a geostationary orbit, meaning it remains fixed over a specific point on the Earth's surface. With a lifespan of about 15 years, GSAT-17 plays a crucial role in supporting various applications, including disaster management, tele-education, and telemedicine services throughout the country.
