Big tension for China as this Indian ‘eagle’ is keeping an eye from Andaman to Lakshadweep, its name is…
The GSAT-20 is loaded with KA-band technology and 32 user beams specifically to monitor the Bay of Bengal, The Indian Ocean, and the Arabian Sea, including Andaman-Nicobar and Lakshadweep Islands.
In a significant strategic move, India has successfully launched its improved verbal exchange satellite, GSAT-20 (GSAT-N2), into space aboard Elon Musk’s SpaceX Falcon-9 rocket. The satellite has reached its planned orbit and is functioning well, now under the control of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). The launch took place at Cape Canaveral, Florida. GSAT-N2 is highly significant for India, with substantial strategic implications.
Unparalleled Surveillance Across Indian Seas
The GSAT-20 is loaded with KA-band technology and 32 user beams specifically to video display the Bay of Bengal, The Indian Ocean, and the Arabian Sea, including the Andaman-Nicobar and Lakshadweep Islands.
The satellite has eight narrow spot beams dedicated to the Northeast region, while 24 wide beams cover the remainder of the us of a.
It be miles worth noting that the satellite enhances India’s ability to video display potential threats, especially from China and Pakistan.

Primary Purpose of GSAT-20
The GSAT-20 also supports India’s Smart City Mission by boosting verbal exchange infrastructure and data transmission capabilities. It also strengthens defense force radar systems with its KA-band technology.
About KA-Band Technology
KA-band falls under the electromagnetic spectrum’s microwave range, with a frequency of 27 to Forty GHz. It has a wavelength of 1.1 to zero.seventy 5 cm. It provides cyber web speeds and broader verbal exchange coverage.
Challenges: Signal quality may degrade in heavy rain or high humidity.
Why Launched Through SpaceX’s Falcon-9?
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) chose SpaceX’s Falcon-9 rocket caused by its capability to lift heavy weights, as the the GSAT-20 satellite may most likely be very heavy caused by its payloads, which surpass the capacity of India’s indigenous GSLV Mark-three rocket.
Revolutionising Satellite Verbal exchange
With its KA-band technology, GSAT-20 assures to give high-speed broadband connectivity, enabling faster cyber web speeds for smoother OTT streaming and downloads. Additionally, it sets the stage for future interplanetary missions.
