"By December next year, we are expecting to launch this (SAARC) satellite," said Kiran Kumar. Spectrum finalisation for the satellite is being worked out, he said. Proposing satellite diplomacy with a view to playing a key role in the development of the region, Prime Minister Narendra Modi last year had asked ISRO to develop a SAARC satellite which can be dedicated as a 'gift' to the neighbours. Modi had asked the scientists to work on a satellite that would provide full range of applications and services to all of India's neighbours.
