The BlueBird 6 satellite, the largest commercial communications satellite intended for Low Earth Orbit, has arrived in India for its upcoming launch aboard the Indian Space Research Organisation’s (ISRO) LVM3 rocket. Weighing approximately 6,500 kg, this satellite was developed by AST SpaceMobile, a U.S.-based broadband provider, and landed at Chennai International Airport, transported by the Antonov cargo aircraft. This launch underscores India’s expanding role in the global space industry and demonstrates ISRO’s increasing capabilities in handling large satellite payloads. The collaboration between U.S. technology and Indian space infrastructure highlights the potential for future partnerships aimed at enhancing satellite communication and connectivity globally, reinforcing India’s position as a key player in the international space arena.
