It has a lift-off mass of 640 tonnes, a height of 43.5 m, and a payload capability of 4,200 kg to Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit (GTO). In its earlier missions, LVM3 successfully launched Chandrayaan-2, Chandrayaan-3, and two OneWeb missions carrying 72 satellites. The previous launch of LVM3 was the LVM3-M5\/CMS-03 mission, that was successfully accomplished on November 02, 2025.<\/p>\n<p>In this mission, LVM3-M6 will place the BlueBird Block-2 satellite, into the Low Earth Orbit and is the largest commercial communications satellite to be deployed in <strong>Low Earth Orbit<\/strong>. It will also be the heaviest payload to be launched by LVM3 from Indian soil. The satellite is part of a next generation of BlueBird Block-2 communication satellites, designed to provide space-based cellular broadband connectivity directly to standard mobile smartphones.<\/p>\n<div class=\"new-product-widget related-content-list my-3\">\n<h4 class=\"heading\">Related Links<\/h4>\n<ul class=\"list-unstyled mb-0\">\n<li><i class=\"fa fa-sm fa-angle-right text-primary\"><\/i>AST SpaceMobile to Launch US-Licensed BlueBird 6 Satellite on December 15 from India<\/li>\n<li><i class=\"fa fa-sm fa-angle-right text-primary\"><\/i>AST SpaceMobile Boosts Manufacturing Footprint to Fast-Track BlueBird Next-Gen Production<\/li>\n<li><i class=\"fa fa-sm fa-angle-right text-primary\"><\/i>Chandrayaan Series<strong><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has successfully executed the LVM3-M6 mission, placing AST SpaceMobile\u2019s BlueBird Block-2 communication satellite into its intended orbit.
