On December 24, 2025, ISRO successfully launched the BlueBird Block-2 communication satellite from Sriharikota using its most powerful rocket, LVM-3 ‘Baahubali’. Developed by US-based AST SpaceMobile, the satellite provides direct broadband connectivity to ordinary smartphones without special devices or antennas. The mission marks India’s heaviest commercial payload launch and enhances global satellite-based mobile connectivity, benefiting remote regions, disaster-hit areas, and air/sea routes. This milestone reinforces ISRO’s role in next-generation communication and the global commercial space market.
