The INSAT-1A, the first in a series of 12 transponder communications satellites developed for India, is described as well as the launch plans. The launch vehicle will be the Delta 3910 configuration which incorporates an extended long tank Thor booster, nine Castor IV strap-on motors, a TR-201 second stage, and an 8 foot fairing. The satellite will be placed in a suborbital trajectory. A DAM-D stage will then thrust it into a synchronous transfer orbit. An apogee kick motor will be fired to circularize its orbit at a geosynchronous altitude of 19,300 nautical miles.
