The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is all set to launch its communication satellite aboard the Elon Musk-owned SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket.
The 4700-kilogram GSAT-N2 satellite aims to provide data or Internet services to remote areas.
It will also enable the availability of the Internet in aeroplanes across the Indian region.
ISRO's launch vehicle Mark-3 can put 4,000 kg into a geostationary transfer orbit; however, as GSAT-N2 weighs 4,700 kg, the space agency is using SpaceX's launch vehicle. This marks ISRO's first commercial launch using SpaceX.
