Everyone is busy in the preparation to welcome Christmas and in between that, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has created a history today by successfully launching its LVM3-M6 rocket carrying the United States’ next-generation BlueBird Block-2 communication satellite, and it is worth mentioning that it is the heaviest payload ever placed into low Earth orbit by the LVM3 launch vehicle.
It has a weight of approximately 6,100 kg, and the same is accurately inserted into its designated orbit shortly after liftoff. The latest mission was conducted under a commercial agreement between NewSpace India Ltd (NSIL), ISRO’s commercial arm, and US-based AST SpaceMobile.
The BlueBird Block-2 satellite is designed to support AST SpaceMobile’s plans that will be offering high-speed cellular broadband services directly to standard smartphones without the need for specialised ground equipment.
