INSAT-3D is a meteorological, data relay and satellite aided search and rescue satellite developed by the Indian Space Research Organisation and was launched successfully on 26 July 2013 using an Ariane 5 ECA launch vehicle from French Guiana.[2][3][4] The satellite has many new technology elements like star sensor, micro stepping Solar Array Drive Assembly (SADA) to reduce the spacecraft disturbances and Bus Management Unit (BMU) for control and telecom and telemetry function. It also incorporates new features of bi-annual rotation and Image and Mirror motion compensations for improved performance of the meteorological payloads.[5][6]

Mission

The mission goal is stated as "to provide an operational, environmental & storm warning system to protect life & property and also to monitor earth’s surface and carryout oceanic observations and also provide data dissemination capabilities."

Payloads

The satellite has 4 payloads:

6 channel multi-spectral Imager
19 channel sounder
Data Relay Transponder (DRT)
Satellite Aided Search and Rescue (SAS&R)

Launch

The satellite was expected to be launched using the GSLV Mk-II. On December 4, 2010, ISRO Chairman revealed that ISRO was considering the use of an Ariane 5 ECA launch vehicle for the launch.[4] The launch was successfully carried out on 26 July 2013 from French Guiana.[7] INSAT-3D was launched along with AlphaSat, which is Europe's largest telecommunication satellite.[8][9]

gollark: There are a bunch of things I could *try*, but they have the potential to... break things more.

gollark: So this thing's stock room boots fine, but I have no idea how or why.

gollark: There seem to be some things missing.

gollark: ```Armor_X5_Q:/ $ ls /dev/block/platform/bootdevice/by-name/ boot cache expdb frp gz2 lk2 md1img metadata nvdata otp persist preloader_b protect1 recovery scp2 seccfg sspm_1 super tee2 vbmeta vbmeta_vendor boot_para dtbo flashinfo gz1 lk logo md_udc nvcfg nvram para preloader_a proinfo protect2 scp1 sec1 spmfw sspm_2 tee1 userdata vbmeta_system ```

gollark: So I tried flashing a generic system image from fastboot. Guess what? Apparently the system partition doesn't exist. That cannot possibly be standard-compliant.
