India's latest communication satellite, G-SAT 12, will be launched today from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SHAR) in Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh today.

The satellite will be launched using the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) with the lift-off window scheduled between 4:48 pm and 5:08 pm.

K Radhakrishnan, chairman of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) said "the countdown has already started and we expect the rocket to lift off at 4.48 pm."

For the present mission, PSLV-XL, a more powerful version of the rocket, would be used for the launch.

GSAT-12, weighing 1,410 kg and equipped with 12 Extended-C band transponders, will augment communication capabilities in telemedicine, tele-education and telephone and other services.

In PSLV-XL version, six extended solid strap-on motors carrying 12 tonnes of solid propellant in total are being used as against nine tonnes in a standard PSLV variant, Mr Radhakrishnan said.

The cost of the rocket is Rs. 90 crore while the satellite, GSAT-12, costs Rs. 80 crore but both are not insured.

This is the second time such a powerful configuration had been deployed, after it was used to put Chandrayaan-I into orbit in 2008.

For the PSLV, this will be the 19th mission with the last 17 flights proving successful. This is the second PSLV launch this year after the PSLV-C16 in April when the rocket lofted Resourcesat-2 and two other micro satellites into orbit.

Two more launches of the PSLV are expected later this year.

The ISRO was forced to use the PSLV as its other launch system, the Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV), is out of commission due to repeated failures.

India will launch a new communication satellite at 4:48 pm on Friday evening that will help doctors and teachers in cities diagnose and teach people in rural India via satellite link.

A severe shortage of communication satellites has pushed the Indian Space Research Organisation to launch the GSAT-12 on Friday.

ISRO Chairman K Radhakrishnan said, "GSAT-12 is a communication satellite. It has twelve transponders in the extended C Band. It is a fast track satellite meant to build up capacity of transponders for Indian users."

The twelve transmitter-receiver modules or transponders on GSAT-12 are for tele-medicine and education. Rural patients will have doctors diagnose them, rural schools will get classes from teachers, all via satellite link.

But communication satellites also drive India's telecom and television revolution. ISRO wanted 500 transponders in the air by 2012, yet today it only has 175. It has leased 86 transponders on foreign satellites and even plans to hire a satellite, but it still won't be enough.

There is another hitch - Communication satellites are very heavy and they fly very high and so, they need very powerful rockets. But after failing twice in 2010, India's Geostationary Satellite Launch Vehicle will fly again only next year.

"The cryogenic engine and stage have to be tested, the flight stage has to be made ready. On the other side, some improvements for the shroud design, that we have learnt from this experience, we will incorporate into next year's launches," K Radhakrishnan said.

Therefore, ISRO has put its old warhorse, the PSLV, on steroids. With six extra large motors and twelve tonnes of fuel, it will take GSAT-12 into space.

That's a lot of people – more than double the population of the United States.

They already share their photos and text their personal details over Facebook. Now users of the network, thanks to its partnership with Internet phone leader Skype, will find that a free video call to a friend is just a point and click away.

Some reviewers of both services give Facebook the edge simply because of its existing pool of customers (more "friends" within reach of a typical user). Then again, that same fact could turn some Web users toward Google for video chats, precisely because they'd rather not open the door to online calls from all their Facebook friends.

Earlier today, Facebook and Skype got a little friendlier, making it easy to find your Facebook friends in Skype and -- more importantly -- video chat with your Facebook friends in Facebook, a service powered by -- you got it -- Skype. Since you're using Skype either way you slice it, we're not interested so much in the call quality as we are the ease of use. Just how easy is it to make video calls using Facebook chat, which, simply put, has never been our favorite IM service? And what's it like seeing your list of potential Skype callers expand to include all your Facebook buddies? Let's venture past the break to find out.

After that, the feature works like “a mini-Skype client,” as Skype CEO Tony Bates mentioned during the announcement. It also has a neat option to record a video message if the person you’re calling doesn’t answer. Here’s a brief walk-through in pictures. Is it working for you? Let us know in the comments.

Expect more chapters in the rivalry over video calling. It would make sense for Facebook and Skype to promote their own version of group video, for example, some analysts say.
