Following the successful launch of the NASA‑ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar satellite, ISRO is preparing to launch the next U.S. collaboration: the BlueBird Block 2 communications satellite, developed by AST SpaceMobile. This mission will utilize ISRO’s LVM3 heavy‑lift rocket to deploy the satellite into low Earth orbit . Announced by ISRO Chairman V Narayanan, it is one of nine major launches planned before the current fiscal year ends . BlueBird Block 2 promises vastly expanded cellular broadband capacity with approximately ten times the bandwidth of the prior Block 1 satellites. (PC: PTI)
