During the last three years (January 2012-Februrary, 2015), India has successfully launched 24 satellites consisting of 11 Indian satellites and 13 foreign satellites. The details of the satellites are as follows:
a) 11 Indian satellites: RISAT-1, Satellite for Argos and Altika (SARAL), IRNSS-1A, IRNSS-1B, IRNSS-1C, INSAT-3D, Mars Orbiter Mission Spacecraft, GSAT-14, GSAT-10, GSAT-7 and GSAT-16;
b) 13 foreign satellites: SPOT-6 (France), PROITERES (Japan), SAPPHIRE (Canada), NEOSSat (Canada), NLS 8.1 (Austria), NLS 8.2 (Austria), NLS 8.3 (Denmark), STRaND-1 (UK), SPOT-7 (France), NLS 7.1 (Canada), NLS 7.2 (Canada), AISat (Germany) & VELOX-1 (Singapore).
The expenditure incurred on the launching of each of these eleven Indian satellites into the space is given below:
(` in crores)
1 . RISAT-1 PSLV-C19 90.00
2 SARAL PSLV-C20 85.00
3 GSAT-10 Procured Launch 406.82
4 IRNSS-1A PSLV-C22 90.00
5 Mars Orbiter Spacecraft PSLV-C25 108.34
6 GSAT-14 GSLV-D5 173.00
7 GSAT-7 Procured Launch 485.29
8 INSAT-3D Procured Launch 485.15
9 IRNSS-1B PSLV-C24 90.00
10 IRNSS-1C PSLV-C26 90.00
11 GSAT-16 Procured launch 581.00
There was no satellite failure in the process of launching during the above mentioned period.
This information was provided by MoS in the Prime Minister’s Office and Minister of State in the Ministry of Personnel, PG & Pensions, Dr Jitendra Singh in a written reply to Lok Sabha today.

27 satellites operational in the country and action has been taken towards developing 26 indigenous satellites
There are 27 satellites that are operational in the country currently. This information was provided by MoS in the Prime Minister’s Office and Minister of State in the Ministry of Personnel, PG & Pensions, Dr Jitendra Singh in a reply to Lok Sabha today.
These are as follows:
(i) 11 Communication Satellites namely, INSAT-3A, INSAT-3C, INSAT-4A, INSAT-4B, INSAT-4CR, GSAT-7, GSAT-8, GSAT-10, GSAT-12, GSAT-14 and GSAT-16.
(ii) 12 Earth Observation Satellites namely, Resourcesat-2, RISAT-1, RISAT-2, Cartosat-1, Cartosat-2, Cartosat-2A, Cartosat-2B, Oceansat-2, SARAL, Kalpana-1, Megha-Tropiques and INSAT-3D.
(iii) 3 Navigational Satellites namely, IRNSS-1A, IRNSS-1B and IRNSS-1C
(iv) 1 Mars Orbiter Mission
(a) As part of XII Five Year Plan (2012-17), action has been taken towards developing 26 indigenous satellites, which includes (i) 6 Communication satellites namely GSAT-15, GSAT-9, GSAT-6, GSAT-6A, GSAT-7A and GSAT-11 (ii) 13 Earth observation satellites namely, Resourcesat-2A, Cartosat-2C, Cartosat-2D, Cartosat-2E, GISAT-1, GISAT-2, INSAT-3DR, INSAT-3DS, Cartosat-3A, Cartosat-3B, Technology Demonstrator Micro Satellite (TD-MS), Hyperspectral Imaging Satellite and RISAT-2A; (iii) 4 Navigation satellites namely IRNSS-1D, IRNSS-1E, IRNSS-1F and IRNSS-1G; (iv) 3 Space science satellites namely Astrosat, Chandrayaan-2 and Aditya.
95 Ku-band (a part of K band) transponders onboard indigenous communication satellites are being utilized for various communication applications. Replying to the discussion, the minister said that the government is also working on resolving the connectivity issues in the hilly areas.
