ISRO has a successful history and experience for launching satellite. ISRO has transported many satellites into space and has also launched satellites to other countries. ISRO is known for launching satellite in a low budget. Despite this, the GSAT-N2 Communications Satellite was launched from the US.
Actually, the GSAT-N2 satellite weighs 10360 pounds i.e. about 4700 kg. It has been transported to a class in space, which is located 22,236 miles (35,786 km) above our earth. According to India Today report, no Indian rocket can take such a heavy payload so far, so ISRO chose Falcon-9 rocket, which is a popular rocket of spacex and has reached many missions to their floor. .
Even before this, ISRO has launched its heavy satellites from abroad. European company Arianspace usually launched it, but Falkan-9 rocket has been selected for the first time. As every time it happens, the first stage of the Spacex Falkan-9 rocket returned to the Earth after 8.5 minutes after the booster lift off. This was the 19th mission of this booster.
What will work GSAT-N2
According to reports, when GSAT-N2 starts work, internet connectivity can be provided to remote areas. People will also get internet services in flights.
