GSAT-7A is expected to be launched in the second half of 2018 and will be launched on board the Ariane 5 rocket from Kourou, French Guiana. The GSAT-7A satellite will be put into a geosynchronous orbit.
According to news agency PTI, ISRO Chairman K Sivan has confirmed the launch of the GSAT-7A mission this year. "We have another GSLV mission, which is going to have GSAT-7A," he said.
Isro will launch a dedicated satellite, Gsat-7A, for the Indian Air Force (IAF) in September and an advanced remote sensing satellite, Risat-2A, for surveillance purpose by the end of the year.Gsat-7A, which will be lifted by a GSLV Mk II rocket, will enable the IAF to interlink different ground radar stations, airbases and AWACS aircraft. It will also boost the IAF’s network-centric warfare capabilities and enhance its global operations.
The chairman said, "Isro is simultaneously working on its next communication satellite Gsat-29. Its launch is due in June or July."

As the Commission is aware, BlackSky is under a tight timetable to ship itsGlobal-1 satellite on July 15, 2018, for a September launch.
Talking to TOI, Isro chairman K Sivan said here, “Of various missions lined up this year, the first launch will be of a PSLV rocket in September that will solely be for commercial purpose. Two UK satellites weighing 450 kg each will be the main payload. UK will use these satellites for earth observation. There will not be any Indian satellite.”
Spaceflight Industries will send Fleet Space Technologies’ 10-kilogram Centauri 1 nanosatellite into orbit on an ISRO/Antrix Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) sometime in 2018.
According to Sivan, in September ISRO will fly a PSLV rocket with two foreign satellites, earning revenue for the country. In October, another PSLV rocket will fly with an Indian remote sensing satellite and several foreign satellites. October will also see India’s heaviest rocket 640-ton GSLV Mk III flying up with GSAT-29 with Ka x Ku multi-beam and optical communication payloads. The mission targets Village Resource Centres (VRC) in rural areas to bridge the digital divide.In November, ISRO will fly a GSLV Mk II rocket to put into orbit GSAT-7A, to be used by the Indian Air Force (IAF). Earlier, ISRO had launched GSAT-7 or Rukmini satellite for the Indian Navy.Queried about the 5.8-ton GSAT-11, a communication satellite that was recalled from French Guiana this April, Sivan said: “We expect the satellite to be launched before the end of this year. Discussions with Arianespace are on regarding the time and date of the satellite launch.”
The overall goal of the Meshbed mission, is to test an experimental phased arraycommunication antenna, model named FUSE.The satellite will be launched as a secondary payload aboard a Polar Satellite LaunchVehicle (PSLV) operated by the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), fromSriharikota, India in December 2018, and deployed upon the rocket reaching orbit. It willbe deployed from the rocket in a 550 km circular orbit, on an inclination from the equatorof 97.6 degrees.
CHENNAI: To keep pace with the rising demands of the country, Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) will increase its satellite launches to at least 12 a year, said Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC) director S Somanath. "We are also planning to build high data communication satellites (at least 100 Gigabyte per second) and landing on the moon by Chandrayan II by next year," he told reporters after speaking at Sathyabama University's 27th convocation programme on Sunday.
A ~40 kg SAR imaging smallsat by Capella Space is expected to launch in early 2019 on PSLV https://www.reddit.com/r/ISRO/comments/95ru0i/a_40_kg_sar_imaging_smallsat_by_capella_space_is/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter …
