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.
