LVM3-M6 / BlueBird Block-2

LVM3-M6 / BlueBird Block-2

LVM3-M6 was a dedicated commercial mission, launching AST SpaceMobile's BlueBird Block-2 satellite as part of a next-generation constellation designed to bring direct 4G/5G connectivity to ordinary smartphones without extra hardware.

At 6,100 kg, BlueBird Block-2 was the heaviest payload LVM3 had carried, and the largest commercial communications satellite ever deployed to low Earth orbit — a marker of ISRO's growing role in the global commercial launch market through NSIL.
