India’s “Baahubali” Soars High: ISRO Launches Heaviest-Ever Commercial Satellite Successfully

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) on Tuesday scripted a historic milestone with the successful launch of its LVM3 rocket, popularly known as “Baahubali,” from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh. The heavy-lift launch vehicle precisely placed the BlueBird Block-2 communication satellite into Low Earth Orbit, marking the heaviest commercial payload ever carried by an Indian rocket. The mission underscores ISRO’s growing dominance in the global commercial launch market and highlights India’s capability to handle complex, high-value space missions with precision and reliability. Designed to enable direct-to-mobile broadband connectivity across remote regions, the satellite reflects strong international collaboration and reinforces India’s position as a trusted and powerful spacefaring nation. The flawless execution of the Baahubali mission stands as a moment of national pride and a major leap forward for India’s space ambitions.
