Space ISRO's commercial achievement Since 1993, 434 satellites from 34 countries have been launched. Commercial activities are carried out through New Space India Limited LVM-3 rocket capabilities A state-of-the-art rocket designed for launching heavy satellites. It can place satellites weighing 8,000 kg in low Earth orbit and satellites weighing more than 4,000 kg in geostationary orbit. LVM-3 key missions 2017 GSAT-19 (First success) 2019 Chandrayaan-2 (3,850 kg) October 2022 OneWeb 36 satellites March 2023 OneWeb 36 satellites 2023 Chandrayaan-3 November 2024 CMS-3 (4,400 kg) December 2025 Bluebird-6 (6,100 kg) The rocket manufacturing journey begins In 1980, the 35-kilogram Rohini (RS-1) experimental satellite was successfully launched using the SLV-3 rocket. Evolution: Gaganyaan project This is India's plan to send humans into space. It has been decided to implement this using the LVM-3 rocket. The astronauts will conduct research for 3 days in an orbit 400 km above the Earth. Afterwards, they will be safely brought back to Earth using the same spacecraft. Vyomitra Mission Before sending humans into space through the Gaganyaan mission, ISRO is preparing to send a female-looking robot named 'Vyomitra' into space using the LVM-3 rocket. If the Vyomitra test is successful, the astronauts selected for the Gaganyaan mission will be sent into space in the next phase. This will place India alongside the United States, Russia, and China, which have already sent their own astronauts into space. Indian Space Station 2035 ISRO is also planning to establish its own space station in the future. The LVM-3 rocket is preparing to carry the aspirations for this project, which has been named the Bharatiya Antariksh Station (Indian Space Station).
