The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) has done it again. The LVM-3 launch vehicle launched by ISRO has successfully launched 36 satellites of OneWeb into the designated orbit.
Sriharikota, Newstoday: The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) has once again shown its strength. The LVM-3 launch vehicle launched by ISRO has successfully launched 36 satellites of OneWeb into the designated orbit. The LVM-3 launch vehicle carrying a payload of 5,805 kg burst into flames from the second launch pad of the Satish Dhawan Space Center (SHAR) in Tirupati district at 9 am on Sunday. It successfully launched the satellites into a circular orbit of 450 km with an inclination of 87.4 degrees. The rocket reached the designated orbit within 9 minutes of launch and began placing the satellites into orbit from the 20th minute. ISRO stated that the C25 stage has performed brilliantly at this stage. It leaves the satellites at specified intervals so that they do not collide with each other. It took 1:27 hours in nine stages to launch all the satellites into orbit. After the successful launch, Union Minister Jitendra Singh, Andhra Pradesh Governor Justice S. Abdul Nazir and Chief Minister Jaganmohan Reddy congratulated the ISRO scientists in separate statements. He wished to undertake more experiments in the future.
A milestone for ISRO
LVM-3 launch is a milestone in ISRO’s journey. We have successfully completed two consecutive experiments of OneWeb. It is believed that more such experiments can be conducted in the future.

OneWeb tariffs are not cheap
Executive Chairman of the company is Sunil Bharti Mittal
Delhi: The company’s executive chairman Sunil Bharti Mittal said on Sunday that the telecom tariffs are very low in India and OneWeb tariffs may not be equal to them. He said that their charges may be similar to the rates of mobile services in western countries. He said that if 30-40 houses in a village are used together, it can be available at affordable prices. He said these details in the background of the successful launch of LVM-3. With the latest launch, the number of OneWeb constellation has reached 618 satellites.
