GSAT-N2 in orbit, says SpaceX; satellite to boost communications infrastructure
GSAT-N2 has been successfully placed in orbit by SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket, Elon Musk’s space tech firm and the Indian Space Research Organisation’s (Isro) commercial arm NSIL said in a series of social media posts early on Tuesday.
“Deployment of @NSIL_India GSAT-N2 confirmed,” SpaceX said in a post on microblogging site X at 12.36 am on Tuesday. Shortly after, NSIL posted, “Successfully into the orbit.”
The 4,700-kg satellite, launched from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida, has been injected into the desired geosynchronous transfer orbit (GTO) and Isro’s Master Control Facility (MCF) has taken control of the satellite, NSIL said. «Preliminary data indicates the satellite is in good health,” it added.
GSAT-N2 (GSAT-20), a Ka-band high throughput communication satellite, is a continuation of Isro’s GSAT series of communication satellites.
The satellite is meant to increase the country’s capacity for data transmission, which is necessary for the government’s Smart City initiative.
