Elon Musk's SpaceX is set to launch India's GSAT-20 communications satellite, marking a significant milestone in the collaboration between the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and the American aerospace company.

• The launch is scheduled for November 19, 2024, from Cape Canaveral, Florida, using SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket.
• The satellite is designed to enhance India's communication infrastructure, featuring a Ka-band high-throughput communications payload with a mission lifespan of 14 years.
• This satellite, also referred to as GSAT-N2, weighs 4,700 kg and is too heavy for ISRO's own rockets to carry, necessitating this partnership with SpaceX.
