This special report focuses on the Indian Space Research Organisation's (ISRO) prowess, highlighted by a launch of its heavy-lift LVM3 'Bahubali' rocket carrying a crucial communication satellite. A key figure discussed is the ISRO Chairman, who elaborated on India's self-reliance in space technology. The Chairman stated, 'First of all I want to tell, the cryogenic technology was a technology which was denied to India by other space-faring nations.' This mission not only involved launching a satellite over 4,400 kg but also featured a significant technological demonstration: the re-ignition of the C-25 cryogenic stage's thrust chamber. This successful experiment is a vital step for India, paving the way for future complex missions that can place multiple satellites into different orbits, solidifying ISRO's position as a master of rocket technology and enhancing India's strategic communication capabilities.
