NEW DELHI, 24 October 2022, (TON): India's space agency says its rocket has successfully put 36 internet satellites into orbit for UK-based satellite company OneWeb after months of delay due to the war in Ukraine.
The mission part of a commercial arrangement between New Space India Limited, a government-run firm, and OneWeb was announced successful by the Indian Space Research Organisation.
ISRO Chairman Sreedhara Panicker Somanath said "this is the first-ever commercial launch of the new rocket LVM3."
This 14th launch of OneWeb satellites relied on India's heaviest rocket, normally reserved for government spacecraft.
