The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) Satellite Center Director K.N. Shankara said that his organization would launch an experimental communication satellite G-SAT4 in 2007. Expected to be launched by the Geostationary Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV), this satellite will carry onboard 8 Ka-band transponders catering to countrywide demand for hub-less VSAT or broadband connectivity. It will also carry 3 Ultra Violet imagers from the Tel Aviv University to survey the sky.
