NEW DELHI, Dec. 12 (Xinhua) -- The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) Wednesday said it would launch communication satellite GSAT-7A on Dec.19.

The satellite would be launched from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC) in Sriharikota, off the Bay of Bengal coast located in the southern Indian state of Andhra Pradesh.

"India's Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV), in its 13th flight, will launch the 2,250 kg operational communication satellite, GSAT-7A from the Second Launch Pad (SLP) of Satish Dhawan Space Centre SHAR, Sriharikota on December 19, 2018," the space agency said in a statement.

"GSLV-F11 will inject GSAT-7A into a Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit (GTO). The satellite will be placed in its final Geostationary Orbit (GEO) using the onboard propulsion system. It will take few days after separation from launcher to reach its orbital slot," the space agency said.

According to ISRO, GSAT-7A is the 35th Indian communication satellite.

GSAT-7A spacecraft is configured on ISRO's standard I-2000 Kg (I-2K) Bus. The satellite is built to provide communication capability to the users in Ku-band over the Indian region.
