The GSAT-N2 (also known as GSAT-20) is a Ka-band high throughput communication satellite of NewSpace India Limited (NSIL), a Government of India company under the Department of Space and the commercial arm of ISRO. GSAT-N2 is the second demand driven satellite of NSIL.

The satellite is designed to enhance India's communication infrastructure, featuring a Ka-band high-throughput communications payload with a mission lifespan of 14 years.

"NSIL [the commercial arm of ISRO] is realizing GSAT-20 satellite through ISRO and will be launched on-board Falcon-9 under a Launch service contract between M/s NSIL and M/s SpaceX, USA. GSAT-20 weighing 4700 kg, offers HTS capacity of nearly 48Gpbs," ISRO said in a press release issued on January 2 this year.

The GSAT-20, a 4,700 kg satellite, exceeds the weight capacity of India’s indigenous rockets, making SpaceX the natural choice for the mission

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is gearing up to launch its latest communication satellite, GSAT-N2, from the US. The mission will be conducted using SpaceX 's Falcon 9 rocket, owing to the satellite's massive weight of 4,

Elon Musk's SpaceX will launch India's heavy communication satellite, Gsat-20, on November 19th. Weighing over 4 tonnes, the satellite exceeds the capacity of India's current launchers, necessitating the use of SpaceX's Falcon-9.

SpaceX will launch the ISRO-developed GSAT-20 satellite next week, marking their first commercial collaboration. The satellite aims to provide internet services across India and will be launched on a Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral,
