Track Reliance Jio's sovereign low Earth orbit satellite constellation — India's first homegrown LEO network. On 17 July 2026, India's space regulator IN-SPACe adjudged Jio's proposal for a constellation of more than 1,600 satellites as technically sound, on par with global systems like Starlink, with a planned capacity of 4.5 to 5 terabits per second over India.
No Jio constellation satellite has launched yet, so there is nothing in orbit to track. The approval clears the way for international orbital slot filings; spectrum and launch approvals are still pending. Once the first satellites reach orbit and receive NORAD catalog IDs, their live positions, altitude and velocity will appear on this page — tracked exactly like the ISS and Starlink.
It is Reliance Jio's proposal to build a sovereign, homegrown constellation of over 1,600 satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO), designed to deliver high-speed internet and mobile connectivity across India with a planned capacity of 4.5–5 terabits per second. On 17 July 2026 India's space regulator IN-SPACe adjudged the proposal technically sound — the first step toward India's first domestically built LEO constellation.
Not yet — no Jio constellation satellite has launched, so there is nothing in orbit to track. Once the first satellites launch and receive NORAD catalog IDs, their live positions will appear on this page, tracked the same way as the ISS and Starlink.
No launch date has been announced. The IN-SPACe approval covers the technical evaluation; Reliance Jio must still secure international orbital slot filings, spectrum and further regulatory approvals before building and launching satellites. Deployment of a 1,600-satellite constellation would then take place over several years.
Starlink already operates more than 10,000 satellites globally, while Jio's constellation of 1,600+ satellites is still in the approval stage. IN-SPACe assessed Jio's proposal as being on par with global systems like Starlink, and its planned 4.5–5 Tbps capacity over India exceeds the capacity currently approved for competing foreign systems in the country.
IN-SPACe (Indian National Space Promotion and Authorization Centre) is India's space regulator — the government agency that authorizes and oversees private-sector space activities in India. Its technical approval is the first regulatory milestone for Jio's constellation.
A sovereign constellation gives India satellite connectivity that does not depend on foreign operators — important for strategic, defence and disaster-response needs, and a driver of digital connectivity for remote regions. Jio's would be the first LEO broadband constellation fully built and operated from India.
No. JioSpaceFiber is Jio's existing satellite broadband service delivered through a partnership with SES using medium and geostationary orbit satellites. The new constellation is a separate, fully homegrown fleet of 1,600+ low Earth orbit satellites owned and operated by Jio itself.
