ISRO had sent a communication satellite  GSAT30 in space in Jan. This was done using an Ariane Rocket launched from French Guiana. 

There are approx 12 countries that can launch their satellites on their own. Also among these 12, there are a few who regularly launch satellites. Some are there who launch satellites in 3 or 4 months.

EOS earth observation satellites are way better than google maps. We can see crystal clear images of the earth like farming fields, beaches, lakes. Earth observation satellites are mostly used in the cases of earth mapping.
