  • India plans space-to-space tracking and communication of its space assets by putting up a new satellite series called the Indian Data Relay Satellite System (IDRSS).
  • It will be a set of satellites that will track, send and receive information from other Indian Satellites.
  • IDRSS satellites of the 2,000 kg class would be launched on the GSLV launcher to geostationary orbits around 36,000 km away.
  • The first beneficiary would be the prospective crew members of the Gaganyaan mission of 2022 who can be fully and continuously in touch with mission control throughout their travel.
