The Indian Space Research Organisation’s (ISRO) Launch Vehicle Mark 3 (LVM3) today lifts off from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre, carrying the BlueBird Block-2 satellite into orbit, as part of a commercial deal with U.S.-based AST SpaceMobile.
The mission will deploy the next-generation communication satellite designed to provide high-speed cellular broadband directly to smartphones worldwide. The BlueBird Block-2 spacecraft would be the heaviest payload to be launched into Low Earth Orbit in the history of the LVM3 rocket.
