India has chosen SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket for the launch of its GSAT-20 communications satellite, according to New Space India Ltd. (NSIL), the commercial arm of India’s space agency ISRO. This decision reflects India’s reliance on SpaceX due to limited near-term launch options for its current schedule. The GSAT-20, also known as GSAT-N2, is expected to revolutionize communication infrastructure in India by providing high-throughput connectivity across the country with a capacity of 48 gigabits per second using a Ka-band payload. This partnership with SpaceX ensures that India’s satellite launch needs are met amidst the challenges of finding suitable launch options. The collaboration between India and SpaceX will potentially pave the way for future advancements in the country’s space industry.
