The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has achieved another leap in its quest for self-reliance in space, successfully launching the heaviest communication satellite ever lifted from Indian soil using its formidable heavy-lift rocket, the Launch Vehicle Mark-3 (LVM3). Affectionately nicknamed ‘Bahubali’ for its sheer power, the LVM3-M5 mission placed the critical 4,410 kg CMS-03 spacecraft into a precise Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit (GTO) on Sunday, November 2, 2025, from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre.
A science nerd and an avid book reader, I have dabbled in several fields including neuroscience, nanotechnology, animal behaviour, journalism, and linguistics after I graduated with a Masters in Technology. I love to travel and meet new people. I am happy to talk science and happier to talk philosophy.
