The Space Agency's Heaviest Rocket.

ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) is set to Launch 36 broadband communication satellites aboard Launch Vehicle Mark 3 (LVM3) which is the space agency's heaviest rocket.

This is the commercial project in which ISRO will launch satellites for UK company OneWeb.

For the launch of 72 satellites, OneWeb pays over Rs 1000 crore to India. 36 satellites will fly on ISRO's rocket LVM3 at 12.07 a.m on Sunday. OneWeb will also use ISRO's another LVM3 rocket in January to launch 36 satellites.

India's heaviest launch vehicle which is now being reffered to as the Launch Vehicle Mark III (LVM3) instead of the geosynchronous launch vehicle Mark III (GSLV-MK III). This was also the first time any of India's rocket carried a 6 ton payload to space. The weight of the 36 satellite payload totalled around 5.8 tonne, which is the heaviest payload for the space agency to date. The LVM3 rocket has a capacity to carry upto 8 ton to low earth orbit. the PSLV is a much lighter vehicle and c an carry between 1.4 to 1.75 ton pay loads.

So what is OneWeb?

Since everyone is aware of SpaceX and Starlink, which is owned by Elon Musk, one benefit for Musk is that Starlink's satellite was recently launched by SpaceX to bring internet to Ukraine for military activities during the difficult times of the Ukraine War, OneWeb operates similarly to Starlink. So, OneWeb work similar to starlink. Starlink is American company where as OneWeb is Global company.

OneWeb, the global communications company, in collabration with japan's Softbank Group, Qualcum, Airbus Defense and Space, and others is planning to launch their own constellation of 648 satellites, rising to pherhap 2000 by the mid 2020s with a mission to bring global connectivity to everyone everywhere.

Various Gaints has invested in OneWeb: Bharti enterprises (30%), Eutelsat(22.9%), UK government (17.6%), Hanwha(8.8%), Hughes network system and others(3.1%).
