Elon Musk's SpaceX has successfully launched the Indian Space Research Organisation's (ISRO) GSAT-N2 communication satellite, marking a significant milestone in the growing commercial collaboration between ISRO and SpaceX. The launch took place on Tuesday from the Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida, with SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket carrying the advanced satellite into space.

India's space agency, ISRO, is set to launch its heavy communications satellite, GSAT-20, using SpaceX's Falcon-9 heavy lift launcher, marking the first time ISRO will rely on SpaceX for such a mission. This move highlights India's lack of a rocket capable of lifting big communication satellites and signifies a shift from its reliance on Arianespace for heavy satellite launches.
