The satellite is referred to as the object which revolves around large-sized objects. There are many types of natural satellites revolving around the universe. A satellite is a moon which revolves around the Earth in a specific orbit. Likewise, Earth is also a satellite as it revolves around the sun in an orbit. It refers to the natural or artificial machine launched in space to record various observations. There are certain types of satellites launched in space to record the specific nature of observations. All the types of satellites are launched by different space organisations like ISRO, NASA etc.
About ISRO:
ISRO is the Indian space and research organisation which works under the department of space in the Indian government. The headquarter of ISRO is located in Bengaluru, Karnataka. It has the vision to develop space power and technology, which helps in national growth and development.
This approach for development is by exploring the planetary, science, space, and research.. Many satellites are successfully launched into space by ISRO representing India.
The marketing support for ISRO is provided by Antrix Corporation Limited (ACL), holding the responsibility of technical consultancy services, commercial exploitation and promotion of space products, and transfer of developed technologies constantly developed by ISRO organisation.
Types Of Satellites Launched By ISRO:
Various types of satellites refer to a machine launched by ISRO for various purposes and functions. The ISRO organisation solely makes the satellites with the support of the Indian government with different launch vehicles for specific applications. Below are the details of various types of satellites launched by ISRO organisation for various applications. Let us discuss:
- Communication Satellites:
The communication satellites were established in 1983, which commissions INSAT 1B. INSAT refers to the Indian National Satellite System working with nine geostationary communication satellites to understand space activities and communication. The satellites are planets or machines that empower the services with telecommunication, societal application, television broadcasting, disaster alarming, weather forecasting and other similar services.

GSAT-8 | Ariane-5 VA-202 | May 21, 2011 | Communication |
- Earth Observation Satellites:
These satellites refer to a machine launched to observe the variation in agricultural patterns, mineral prospecting, disaster management, and water resources. These satellites collect data with remote sensing techniques with instruments that provide the data in temporal and spatial resolution. The satellite is a moon which revolves around Earth to record specific observations.
Satellite | Launch Vehicle | Launch Date | Application |

The Technology Experiment Satellite (TES) | PSLV-C3 / TES | Oct 22, 2001 | Earth Observation |
- Experimental Satellites:
According to space studies and theories, a satellite is a moon that revolves around an object that records specific variations and observations to intimate the climatic changes or maintain streamlined communication. ISRO launches many satellites for experimenting with certain actions like payload development, remote sensing, recovery technology, orbit controls and atmospheric studies.

YOUTHSAT | PSLV-C16/RESOURCESAT-2 | Apr 20, 2011 | Student Satellite |
Aryabhata | C-1 Intercosmos | Apr 19, 1975 | Experimental |
- Navigation Satellite:
These satellites are an integral part of ISRO, which associates with specific navigation and monitoring services.
Navigation planets or machines services record the civil aviation needs with timing-based positioning and movement in the satellite navigation system. This system works independently according to the demands and requirements of civil aviation. To achieve these requirements, ISRO is working jointly with AAI (Airport Authority of India) to establish GAGAN (GPS Aided Geo Augmented Navigation System).
The regional satellites refer to a machine as a navigation system established by ISRO forming IRNSS (Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System). It works to achieve the requirements regarding the indigenous system’s timing, position, and navigation.
Conclusion:
ISRO is one of the important organisations involved the space experiments and research. According to leading science and space theories, the satellite is the object that revolves around the object to record the observations. A satellite is a moon that revolves around the Earth; similarly, a satellite is Earth that revolves around the sun. Presently, organisations like NASA and ISRO build artificial satellites to observe climatic variations, disaster management, communication channels, and certain experiments.
