On February 17, as part of the GSLV-F14 mission, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is scheduled to launch the INSAT-3DS satellite. According to a mission update from ISRO on February 8, the satellite will launch on February 17 at 5:30 p.m. IST from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota. This will be the Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV) of ISRO’s 16th mission.

A satellite for weather and catastrophe alerts is called INSAT-3DS. The services offered by the current in-orbit INSAT-3D and INSAT-3DR satellites will be continued thanks to this newest INSAT (Indian National Satellite).
