India's newest and highest-throughput commercial satellite, launched on SpaceX's Falcon 9 after ISRO's GSLV Mk III launch schedule conflicted with the satellite's delivery timeline. GSAT-N2 provides Ka-band broadband with 48 high-power spot beams covering the entire Indian subcontinent — enough throughput to support India's government Digital India broadband expansion programs and commercial satellite internet subscribers simultaneously. Its launch on an American rocket raised eyebrows but reflected ISRO's pragmatic approach to commercial timelines.
