GSAT-14 is an Indian communications satellite launched in January 2014. It replaced the GSAT-3 satellite, which was launched in 2004. GSAT-14 was launched[3] by a Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle Mk.II, which incorporated an Indian-built cryogenic engine on the third stage.

Transcription

Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) successfully launched GSLV-D5 rocket from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota. GSLV-D5 Rocket is powered by an indigenous cryogenic engine, This rocket successfully injected GSAT-14 communication satellite into geosynchronous transfer orbit. This success marks India's entry into the multi-billion dollar commercial launcher market on a fully indigenous large rocket. With this launch, ISRO became the sixth space agency in the world after U.S., Russia, Japan, China and France to have tasted success with an indigenous cryogenic engine. Launching a GSLV with an indigenous cryogenic engine has been a major challenge for ISRO since 2001 after multiple unsuccessful attempts. GSLV-D5's scheduled launch on August 19 last year was called off in the eleventh hour after a fuel leak. GSAT-14 is India's 23rd geostationary communication satellite. India had got seven cryogenic engines from Russia, and ISRO has used six of them. For over 20 years, the cryogenic technology was denied to India by Russia under pressure from the US. So, India felt the necessity to develop its own cryogenic engine, which uses liquid hydrogen as fuel and liquid oxygen as oxidizer at extremely low temperatures.

Satellite

GSAT-14 is part of the GSAT series of satellites. Constructed by ISRO, it is based around the I-2K satellite bus, and has a dry mass of 851 kilograms (1,876 lb). With fuel, its mass is 1,982 kilograms (4,370 lb). The spacecraft has a design life of 12 years.[4]

The satellite carries six Ku-band and six Extended C-band transponders to provide coverage of the whole of India. The satellite is expected to provide enhanced broadcasting services over the GSAT-3 satellite.[5] GSAT-14 also carries two Ka-band beacons which will be used to conduct research into how weather affects Ka-band satellite communications. Fibre optic gyro, active pixel Sun sensor, round type bolometer and field programmable gate array based Earth sensors and thermal control coating experiments are new technologies which were flown as experiments in the satellite.[6] The satellite is powered by two solar arrays, generating 2,600 watts of power.[4]

Launch

A launch attempt on 19 August 2013, with a planned liftoff at 11:20 UTC (4:50 pm local time),[7][8] was scrubbed following a reported second stage fuel leak.[9][10] While the probe for the failure to launch was in progress, ISRO had decided to replace the liquid second stage (GS-2) with a new one.[11] In the process, all the four liquid strap-on stages were replaced with new ones.[11]

The satellite was launched from the Second Launch Pad of the Satish Dhawan Space Centre, atop a Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle Mk.II (GSLV Mk.II) rocket at 10:48 UTC (16:18 local time) on 5 January 2014.[12] The 29-hour countdown began on 4 January 2014.[13]

The flight marked India's forty-first satellite launch, the eighth launch of a GSLV, and the second flight of the Mk.II variant, whose maiden flight with GSAT-4 had failed in 2010. It ended a run of four consecutive GSLV launch failures which began with INSAT-4C in 2006.[14] The launch marked the first successful flight test of the CE-7.5, India's first cryogenically fuelled rocket engine.
