In a significant milestone for India’s space program, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has announced plans to launch the 6.5-tonne BlueBird-6 satellite from the United States by the end of 2025, as confirmed by ISRO Chairman Dr. V. Narayanan.
The BlueBird-6 mission marks a major step in expanding India’s international space collaborations and showcases ISRO’s growing expertise in large satellite development and deployment. The satellite, weighing 6.5 tonnes, is among the heaviest India has ever developed and will be launched aboard a U.S. commercial launch vehicle, reflecting ISRO’s commitment to global partnerships in space technology.
According to early reports, BlueBird-6 is designed for advanced communication and scientific applications, likely supporting both civilian and strategic needs. The mission is expected to enhance India’s presence in the global satellite industry and reinforce its capability to work seamlessly with international launch systems.
This development comes amid a year of major advances for ISRO, following successful missions such as Chandrayaan-3 and Aditya-L1, which have positioned India as a leading force in global space exploration. With BlueBird-6, ISRO continues to push boundaries, demonstrating innovation, collaboration, and a vision aimed squarely at the stars.
