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.

Job Title
Writer

 

I’m currently doing my bachelor’s degree in Zoology at Madras Christian College, Chennai. I’ve always loved to write and animals are something else that I’m passionate about. I wanted to be a Writer for the Research Media Centre because I thought that I would be able to be involved in both. I also want to do research of my own later, so I plan on becoming a Wildlife Biologist. Other than that, I’m just another person trying to find meaning and purpose in life. Oh, and I do enjoy birdwatching and performing in plays and musicals.
