Chennai: Indian space agency officials have confirmed that the Bahubali Rocket has completed its historic mission without any hitch.

India’s heavy-lift rocket the about 640-ton Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle MkIII (GSLV MkIII) was nicknamed ‘Bahubali’ when it flew with the Chandrayaan-2 spacecraft.

The rocket renamed LVM3 M2 is on a historic mission of carrying 36 OneWeb Satellites weighing about six tons to sling them into Low Earth Orbit (LEO). India Bahubali satellite rocket India Bahubali satellite rocket

This is the first time the rocket was used to carry foreign satellites. All these years the GSLV MkIII rocket was used to carry India’s communication satellite and other payloads.

After the recent failures of Isro, the Small Satelite Launch Vehicle (SSLV) failed on its maiden launch and similarly, a Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) mission too failed.

Apart from the OneWeb satellites, a lot more will be riding on the LVM3 rocket.

ISRO Chairman and Secretary, Department of Space S. Somanath that with the LVM3 rocket India can fill the vacant slot in the global market catering to the companies launching a constellation of satellites.

ISRO will also launch another set of 36 OneWeb satellites in 2023.

About ISRO

Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is the space agency of India. The organisation is involved in science, engineering and technology to harvest the benefits of outer space for India and mankind. ISRO is a major constituent of the Department of Space (DOS), Government of India. The department executes the Indian Space Programmeprimarily through various Centres or units within ISRO.

ISRO was previously the Indian National Committee for Space Research (INCOSPAR), set up by the Government of India in 1962, as envisioned by Dr. VikramA Sarabhai. ISRO was formed on August 15, 1969, and superseded INCOSPAR with an expanded role to harness space technology. DOS was set up and ISRO was brought under DOS in 1972.

The prime objective of ISRO/DOS is the development and application of space technology for various national needs. To fulfil this objective, ISRO has established major space systems for communication, television broadcasting and meteorological services; resources monitoring and management; space-based navigation services. ISRO has developed satellite launch vehicles, PSLV and GSLV, to place the satellites in the required orbits.

Alongside its technological advancement, ISRO contributes to science and science education in the country. Various dedicated research centres and autonomous institutions for remote sensing, astronomy and astrophysics, atmospheric sciences and space sciences in general function under the aegis of the Department of Space. ISRO’s own Lunar and interplanetary missions along with other scientific projects encourage and promote science education, apart from providing valuable data to the scientific community which in turn enriches science.

ISRO has its headquarters in Bengaluru. Its activities are spread across various centres and units. Launch Vehicles are built at Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC), Thiruvananthapuram; Satellites are designed and developed at U R Rao Satellite Centre (URSC), Bengaluru; Integration and launching of satellites and launch vehicles are carried out from Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC), Sriharikota; Development of liquid stages including cryogenic stage is carried out at Liquid Propulsion Systems Centre (LPSC), Valiamala& Bengaluru; Sensors for Communication and Remote Sensing satellites and application aspects of the space technology are taken up at Space Applications Centre (SAC), Ahmedabad and Remote Sensing satellite data reception processing and dissemination is entrusted to National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC), Hyderabad.
