ISRO launches LVM3-M3/Oneweb India-2 Mission in Sriharikota... 



The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) successfully launched its heaviest rocket, LVM3, which placed 36 satellites belonging to the UK-based OneWeb group.

It was the sixth launch for India’s heaviest rocket LVM-3 – which includes the launch of Chandrayaan-2 in 2019 – and the second one where it demonstrated the capability of launching multiple satellites in low earth orbit (LEO). The eighteenth launch of OneWeb satellites brought the constellation’s total number of satellites to 618. The company intends to use 588 active satellites in its first-generation constellation to provide global connectivity at high speed and low latency.

The launches not only established LVM3 as a commercial vehicle propelling ISRO’s entry into the commercial heavier launch market, but it also earned the agency upwards of Rs 1,000 crore.

The service provided to OneWeb, for which the space agency had to move around a few of its missions, ended up earning it one of the highest revenues. And, over the years, there has been an increase in funds that the space agency has generated.



About One Web

The OneWeb Constellation operates in a Low Earth Orbit (LEO) Polar Orbit, where the satellites are arranged in 12 rings, also known as orbital planes.

Each orbital plane consists of 49 satellites, and they are inclined to be near-polar at an inclination of 87.9 degrees.

The satellites are placed at an altitude of 1200 km above the Earth’s surface, and each satellite completes a full trip around the Earth every 109 minutes.
