The world’s two space agencies have been at the center of debate for some time now. The first is American businessman Elon Musk’s Space-X and the second is India’s ISRO. Both agencies have created new dimensions of success in the recent past. At the same time, now ISRO and Space-X have come together for a mission. Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) has successfully launched its most advanced communication satellite into space with the help of SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket. Let’s know the special things about this launch.
What is the feature of satellite?
The Indian satellite launched by SpaceX is also known as GSAT N-2 or GSAT 20. The commercial satellite weighs 4,700 kg and is designed to provide broadband services in remote areas as well as in-flight internet for passenger aircraft. The satellite was launched into space from the launch complex at Cape Canaveral, Florida, USA. Cape Canaveral is leased to the US Space Force by SpaceX.
Why is this projection important?
The launch by SpaceX is the first of its kind by New Space India Limited (NSIL) between ISRO and SpaceX. Also, this is the first satellite built by ISRO to use advanced KA band frequencies. Its radio frequency range is between 27 and 40 gigahertz (GHz), providing high bandwidth. GSAT-N2 will enhance the efficiency and coverage of broadband services in various regions of India.
