INSAT-4CR was an Indian Ku-band TV satellite launched by GSLV-F04 in September 2007. It replaced INSAT-4C, which was lost when GSLV-F02 failed in July 2006.
No longer operational, according to the public satellite catalogue.
INSAT-4CR carried 12 high-power Ku-band transponders. They served direct-to-home (DTH) television, video picture transmission and digital satellite news gathering. It was placed at 74° E with INSAT-3C, Kalpana-1 and EDUSAT.
The 2,130 kg satellite was built on ISRO's I-2K bus. GSLV-F04, the fifth GSLV flight, launched it from Sriharikota on 2 September 2007. The rocket used an upgraded Russian cryogenic upper stage.
GSLV left it in a transfer orbit of 170 km by 35,975 km, tilted 21.7 degrees. The satellite then used its own engine to reach geostationary orbit.
The orbit it was dropped into was lower than planned. INSAT-4CR had enough fuel to reach its slot anyway, but its working life was cut by about five years. It was moved to a graveyard orbit in November 2020.
