‘Baahubali’, a great victory for ISRO

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has been launching various communication satellites. In that series, the 4,410 kg CMS-03, a naval communication satellite called GSAT-7R, has been launched from Sriharikota.
This is the heaviest satellite ever launched from Indian soil. The LVM 3M5 rocket is used for this. The CMS-03 satellite launched in this weighs 4,410 kg. It is fondly called “Baahubali” because it is the heaviest satellite ever launched into Earth orbit.
CMS-03 successfully separated from the rocket, marking a successful mission. This achievement marks a new era for India’s space power.
Earlier, ISRO launched a giant satellite called GSAT-11 from French Guiana in 2018 using an Ariane 5 rocket. The weight of this satellite is 5,854 kg. After that, the heaviest satellite has been launched from Indian soil. The length of the Bahubali rocket launched yesterday is 43.5 meters.
ISRO’s space exploration does not stop there. Earlier this year, ISRO Chairman V. Narayanan said that work is underway on Chandrayaan-4 and Chandrayaan-5, along with plans to build India’s own space station by 2035. Chandrayaan-4 will be India’s first Venus orbiter mission, exploring the surface of Venus. ISRO is also busy preparing for the ambitious Gaganyaan human space mission, which will send three astronauts into a 400-kilometer orbit and land them safely after three days.
It is no exaggeration to say that every success strengthens India’s position in global space exploration and takes our country towards the ambitious goal of self-reliance in space technology.
Our ISRO, which is performing magic in space to the extent of competing with superpowers, deserves all the praise. Congratulations & appreciation to its chairman Narayanan and his fellow scientists!
