Andhra Pradesh: The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has created history again. Its heaviest rocket LVM3-M5 was successfully launched from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh. The rocket carrying the CMS-03 communication satellite flew into space. The launch will be a major achievement in India's communication technology and space capabilities. The mission will play a major role in strengthening the country's digital network.
During the launch, the rocket successfully separated both its S200 solid boosters and payload fairing. It then entered the L110 liquid core stage and then its final stage, the C25 cryogenic stage. The entire mission went exactly as planned. It showcased the technical precision of ISRO and the hard work of its scientists.
Chandrayaan-2 and Chandrayaan-3 were also launched using the same rocket. The LVM-3 rocket, formerly known as GSLV Mk-3, uses three types of engines: solid, liquid and cryogenic. The rocket can carry approximately 8,000 kg to low Earth orbit (LEO) and approximately 4,000 kg to geosynchronous orbit (36,000 km altitude). The rocket is also known as the "Monster Rocket".
Because it has achieved 100% success rate in all its missions till date. The same rocket carried historic missions like Chandrayaan-2 and Chandrayaan-3 to space. The CMS-03 satellite is a major step for India's telecommunications system. The satellite will further strengthen the country's communication network and bring internet and broadcasting services to areas where connectivity was previously limited.
