印度成功发射通信卫星GSAT-6A

Next generation Vikas engine

第二代维卡斯引擎

During the launch, Isro tested a next generation high thrust Vikas engine, which powered the rocket’s second stage. The improved engine increased the payload capability of the vehicle.

在发射过程中，印度空间研究所测试了第二代高推力维卡斯引擎，它为火箭的第二阶段提供动力。改良后的引擎增加了火箭的有效载荷能力。

The second stage also had electromechanical actuation system replacing electrohydraulic actuation system to enhance the reliability of the rocket. Officials said any improvement done to the vehicle would be incorporated into GSLV’s future missions, including Chandrayaan-2 planned for October 2018.

第二阶段还采用机电驱动系统代替电动液压驱动系统，提高了火箭的稳定性。官员们表示，对该火箭的任何改良都将在GSLV的未来任务中采用，其中就包括计划于2018年10月发射的天宫2号。

GSAT-6A

GSAT-6A, similar to its predecessor GSAT-6, is a high power S-band communication satellite with a mission life of around 10 years.

GSAT-6A，类似于其前身GSAT-6，是一种高功率的s波段通信卫星，其工作寿命为10年左右。

The satellite has a six-metre wide antenna that would unfurl once it is in space. The antenna, meant for S-band communication, is three times broader than those generally used in Isro satellite. This feature will enable the satellite to provide mobile communication for the country through handheld ground terminals. The smaller antenna in other communication satellites require larger ground stations.

这颗卫星有6米宽的天线，一旦进入太空就会展开。该天线适用s波段通信，比印度空间研究所的卫星中普遍使用的天线宽三倍。这一特征将使卫星能够通过地面手持终端为印度提供移动通信。在其他通信卫星中，天线越小，地面卫星接收站就要越大。

While GSAT-6A will complement GSAT-6, Isro sources said the satellite would also provide services to the Indian Armed Forces.

虽然GSAT-6A只是作为GSAT-6的补充，但印度空间研究所消息人士称，该卫星还将为印度武装部队提供服务。

GSAT-6 has been providing satellite communication services since its launch on August 27, 2015.

GSAT-6自2015年8月27日发射以来一直在提供卫星通信服务。

Next launch

下一次发射任务

Kunhikrishnan said preparations are on for three launch campaigns including PSLV-C41 carrying IRNSS-1I, to be launched in the next two weeks followed by GSLV Mk-III.

昆西克里斯南说，我们正在为接下来的三次发射任务做准备，其中包括将在未来2周内携带IRNSS-1I卫星发射的PSLV-C41，随后是GSLV Mk-III。
