INSAT-3D Satellite Successfully Placed in Geosynchronous Orbit
India’s advanced weather satellite INSAT-3D, launched in the early hours
of July 26, 2013 from Kourou, French Guyana, has successfully been placed
in Geosynchronous orbit after three orbit raising manoeuvres commanded
from ISRO`s Master Control Facility at Hassan.
The Orbital parameters of INSAT-3D are:
• Apogee (farthest point to Earth) – 35,799 km
• Perigee (nearest point to Earth) – 35,469 km
• Inclination (of the orbit with respect to the equator)- 0.23 deg
• Orbital period – 23 hr 48 min
