GSAT 16 is an Indian geostationary communications satellite carried on a 12-year mission to reduce India's reliance on leased transponders aboard foreign telecom spacecraft. The 7,014-pound (3,181-kg) satellite features 12 Ku-band and 36 C-band transponders—including 12 'extended' C-band transponders. The telecom payload aboard GSAT 16 has more capacity than any communications ever built in India. Built by the Indian Space Research Organization, the spacecraft will fortify India's fleet of government-owned communications satellites to supply television and other communications services to the Indian public.
