India to launch GSAT-20 satellite on SpaceX’s Falcon-9 rocket to space

India is poised to make a significant leap in its space capabilities with the launch of the GSAT-20 satellite, which will be carried into orbit by SpaceX's Falcon-9 rocket.

The details were released by NewSpace India Limited (NSIL), the commercial arm of the Indian Space Research Organisation, which has been tasked with building, launching, owning, and operating satellites in a demand-driven mode to cater to the specific needs of users.

Following the successful deployment of GSAT-24 in June 2022 — a mission entirely funded by NSIL and whose capacity was fully secured by TataPlay—NSIL is now gearing up for the GSAT-20 satellite mission.
