India’s GSAT-20 satellite, a high-throughput communication satellite weighing 4,700 kg, was successfully launched on SpaceX’s Falcon-9 rocket from Cape Canaveral, Florida. Operated by NewSpace India Limited (NSIL), this marks the first time an Indian satellite has been launched aboard a US rocket. Designed for broadband expansion, the 14-year mission supports Smart Cities, in-flight connectivity, and remote regions.
