The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has lined up seven critical launch missions by March 2026, kicking off with the LVM3-M6 deployment of AST SpaceMobile’s BlueBird-6 satellite—its heaviest commercial payload at 6.5 tonnes—now rescheduled to December 21, 2025, from Sriharikota. Key missions include the inaugural uncrewed Gaganyaan flight early next year aboard a human-rated LVM3, carrying the humanoid robot Vyommitra to validate orbital operations, re-entry, and recovery systems ahead of crewed flights in 2027. PSLV launches will orbit Oceansat-3A, EOS-N1 for strategic users with 18 co-passengers, and TDS-01 demonstrating indigenous electric propulsion and quantum key distribution tech; GSLV will deploy EOS-5. From an Indian security lens, these bolster self-reliance in reconnaissance, secure comms, and human spaceflight, countering regional threats while unlocking NSIL-led commercial revenues amid intensifying Indo-Pacific space rivalry.
