"Efforts are underway to establish the link with the satellite," it added.
GSAT-6, the country's latest communication satellite has been successfully positioned in its orbital slot, Indian Space Research Organisation said on Sunday.
"First orbit raising operation of GSAT-6 was successfully completed by firing the Apogee Motor for 3385 seconds at 8:35 pm IST on August 28," the ISRO said.
The satellite would provide a thrust to mobile communication through multi-beam coverage facility, the ISRO said.
The ISRO lost communication with the satellite when it attempted to ignite the engine in a third and final move to its desired location.
The feat is the second one for the Indian Space Research Organisation scientists in using the indigenously made cryogenic stage after the January 5, 2014 launch of GSLV-D5.
A key feature of the satellite is providing mobile communication to India through multi beam coverage facility.
India will appeal against the verdict of the Hague tribunal in Antrix-Devas deal case, in which the international court had declared the annulling of the contract as "unfair" and "inequitable" and asked it to pay huge amount as compensation.
If the April launch of the Chandrayaan-2, the country's second mission to the Moon, is not possible, then the ISRO will aim for a launch by October.
Devas Multimedia has seized $87,457.47 cash that ISRO's commercial arm Antrix Corporation held in the US as it looked to enforce a $1.2 billion compensation it had won over a cancelled satellite deal, its lawyer said on Wednesday. Devas Multimedia America Inc had sought seizure of $145,000 but the actual recovery was $87,457.47 (a little less than Rs 70 lakh). This came after it secured a favourable order from the Eastern District Court of Virginia, Matthew D McGrill said.
There has been no loss of revenue arising out of the Antrix-Devas deal as the agreement has been annulled, the Lok Sabha was informed on Wednesday.
Over 32 missions -- satellites and rockets -- have been planned for the year.
In the years to come, India's space assets will play a much bigger role if and when hostilities break out on our borders, says Pallava Bagla.
Besides Nair, others named in the charge sheet include the then K R Sridhar Murthy, Ramachandra Vishwanathan and M G Chandrasekhar.
"I am really grateful to the entire ISRO family for having worked this hard and making IRNSS-1I a success," said the space centre's chief K Sivan.
Court questioned the probe agency on delay in filing the chargesheet.
The International Chamber of Commerce's arbitration body International Court of Arbitration has ruled in our favour in the Antrix-Devas arbitration case and Antrix is liable to pay damages totalling $672 million to it, Devas said on Tuesday.
The Indian Space Research Organisation has refused to disclose the contents of letters written by its former chief G Madhavan Nair and others in connection with findings by a committee that went into controversial Antrix-Devas deal, saying they were "personal" that may impede process of investigation or apprehension of offenders.
Enthused over its successful launch of GSLV D5 with GSAT-14 communication satellite from Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota on Sunday, the Indian Space Research Organisation is planning a series of GSLV launches and an experimental launch of the advanced version GSLV Mark III soon from the spaceport.
An international tribunal has ruled that the Indian government had acted "unfairly" and "inequitably" in annulling a contract between Devas and ISRO's commercial arm Antrix.
Indian Space Research Organisation's plan to soft land Chandrayaan-2's Vikram module on the Lunar surface did not go as per script in the early hours of Saturday, with the lander losing communication with ground stations during its final descent.
The rocket is almost 49 meters high -- as much as a 17-floor building. It weighs 415 tons -- as much as the combined weight of 80 full grown elephants.
