India's heaviest Communication Satellite GSAT-10 Launched Successfully | ISRO
The launch of ISRO's 101st space mission, GSAT-10 satellite, has been a success. At 3400 kg, GSAT-10 is the heaviest Indian satellite that ISRO has built.
After a smooth countdown lasting 11 hours and 30 minutes, the Ariane-5 launch vehicle lifted off right on schedule at the opening of the launch window at 0248 hrs

IST
today (September 29,2012). After a flight of 30 minutes and 45 seconds,
GSAT-10 was injected into an elliptical Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit
(GTO), very close to the intended one.
GSAT 10 Satellite successfully launched by Arianespace’s Ariane 5 ECA VA 209 mission from Spaceport's ELA 3 launch zone, Kourou launch base in French Guyana at 02:48 a.m. IST on September 29, 2012. With this latest success, Arianespace has now lofted 15 spacecraft for ISRO.
Based on the I - 3K satellite bus, GSAT 10 weighed approximately 3,400 kg. at liftoff and carries 30 transponders as well as the GAGAN (GPS and GEO augmented navigation) system. It will provide Ku and C band relay capacity when it joins the INSAT (Indian National Satellite) system of geostationary spacecraft representing one of the largest domestic communications satellite networks in the Asia - Pacific region
