Presently, NSIL owns and operates 11 communication satellites in orbit. Along similar lines, during 2nd quarter of 2024, NSIL will be undertaking the GSAT-20 satellite mission to offer cost-effective Ka-Ka band HTS capacity primarily for meeting the Broadband, as well as IFMC and cellular backhaul service needs. The bulk of the HTS capacity on-board GSAT-20 satellite has already been secured by Indian service providers.<\/p>\n<p>GSAT-20 offers Ka-Ka band HTS capacity with 32 beams having Pan-India coverage including A&amp;N and Lakshadweep islands. NSIL is realizing the GSAT-20 satellite through ISRO and will be launched onboard Falcon-9 under a Launch service contract between M\/s NSIL and M\/s SpaceX, USA. GSAT-20 weighing 4700 kg, offers an HTS capacity of nearly 48Gpbs.
