A5's micro-satellite launch capability is limited to relatively low to medium earth orbit. Question is what mil or communication sats Indian defense forces have in that orbit, and what they do w.r.t. military capability? (there is no communication function in that orbit; there is only EOS and possibly IRNSS function). Given the much smaller micro-sat weight what fraction of functionality and duty cycle can it accomplish?
