RN LVM-3 (dawniej GSLV Mk III) wyniosła pierwszego satelitę telekomunikacyjnego BlueBird drugiej generacji na orbitę kołową o parametrach: h= 520 km, i=53°.

Satelita komunikacyjny BlueBird Block-2 firmy AST SpaceMobile z USA jest częścią globalnej konstelacji LEO, umożliwiającej bezpośrednią łączność mobilną.

Satelita o masie 6100 kg jest najcięższym satelitą wyniesionym na orbitę przez RN LVM-3.
Powierzchnia anten satelity wynosi 223 m², czyli 3,5 razy więcej niż w przypadku satelitów BlueBird pierwszej generacji.
AST SpaceMobile planuje wystrzelić do 60 takich satelitów.

LVM-3 | BlueBird Block 2 FM1

AST SpaceMobile launched one of its BlueBird Block 2 satellites atop an Indian Space and Research Organization (ISRO) Launch Vehicle Mark 3 (LVM-3) rocket on Wednesday, Dec. 24, at 03:24 UTC. LVM-3 lifted off from the Second Launch Pad at the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in India, flying on a southeasterly trajectory into LEO.

The BlueBird Block 2 satellites are the second generation BlueBird satellites, designed to provide over 10 times the bandwidth of the original BlueBird satellites currently in LEO today. AST SpaceMobile is targeting around 100% nationwide coverage in the U.S. with the Block 2 satellites, as well as 24/7 continuous cellular broadband service. Each Block 2 satellite features a 2,400-square-foot communications array — the largest ever deployed in LEO.

LVM-3 has been in service since 2014 and was previously referred to as the Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV) Mk III. A three-stage medium-lift rocket, it is capable of launching 10,000 kg to LEO and 4,200 kg to geostationary transfer orbit. The first stage comprises two Solid S200 solid rocket boosters, each producing 5,150 kN of thrust. The second (core) stage uses two Vikas engines burning hypergolic propellants, while the third stage features one CE-20 engine burning LOX and liquid hydrogen (LH2).

This mission marked the ninth LVM-3 mission and second of 2025, as well as ISRO’s fifth mission of 2025 and 101st overall.
