NEW DELHI, DECEMBER 24: Prime Minister Narendra Modi today lauded the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) for the historic launch of the LVM3-M6 mission, describing it as a significant stride in India’s rapidly evolving space sector. In a post on X, the Prime Minister highlighted that the successful deployment of the US-based BlueBird Block-2 satellite—the heaviest payload ever launched from Indian soil—marks a proud milestone in the nation’s space journey.
He emphasized that this achievement not only strengthens India’s indigenous heavy-lift launch capabilities but also reinforces the country’s growing influence and competitive edge in the global commercial launch market.
The Prime Minister further noted that the mission’s success is a testament to the ongoing efforts toward an Aatmanirbhar Bharat (Self-Reliant India), showcasing the nation’s ability to provide world-class, high-capacity space solutions.
Extending his congratulations to the dedicated team of space scientists and engineers at ISRO, PM Modi asserted that India continues to “soar higher” in the global space arena. This high-profile endorsement underscores the government’s commitment to prioritizing space technology as a key driver of economic growth and scientific leadership, as India solidifies its position as a primary partner for international satellite operators.
