He also noted that these improvements in capability and self-reliance will benefit future generations.
"Powered by India's youth, our space programme is getting more advanced and impactful. With LVM3 demonstrating reliable heavy-lift performance, we are strengthening the foundations for future missions such as Gaganyaan, expanding commercial launch services and deepening global partnerships. This increased capability and boost to self-reliance are wonderful for the coming generations," PM Modi wrote in another post.
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) launched the BlueBird Block-2 communication satellite for the United States' AST SpaceMobile this morning. The satellite was placed in orbit, and the mission was successful. The launch occurred at the Satish Dhawan Space Station in Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh, at 8:55 AM IST. This mission will deploy a next-generation communication satellite aimed at providing high-speed cellular broadband directly to smartphones around the world.
