ISRO will carry out seven launches by March 2026, starting next week. The first launch will orbit Bluebird-6, a communication satellite for US-based AST Spacemobile, using India's heaviest rocket, LVM3. Union Minister Jitendra Singh informed Parliament about these plans. Early next year, LVM3 will fly its first human-rated mission carrying an uncrewed Gaganyaan spacecraft with the robot 'Vyommitra' onboard. This mission aims to test the rocket’s performance, orbital operations, and crew module recovery. Another uncrewed Gaganyaan mission is planned before sending Indian astronauts to low earth orbit in 2027. The Indian industry will build its first Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) next year. It will launch the Oceansat satellite along with the Indo-Mauritius Joint Satellite and Dhruva Space’s LEAP-2 satellite. To boost commercial satellite launches, NSIL contracted a HAL-L&T consortium to build five PSLV rockets through technology transfer. One PSLV will deploy the earth observation satellite EOS-N1 and 18 small satellites from Indian and international customers. The GSLV-Mk II rocket will launch EOS-5 or GISAT-1A, replacing the failed GISAT-1 from 2021. The PSLV63 mission will launch the TDS-01 satellite to test homegrown electric propulsion, quantum key distribution, and the indigenous travelling wave tube amplifier (TWT). Electric propulsion will make satellites lighter by cutting fuel from over two tonnes to just 200 kg. ISRO’s Mr. Singh said, "The technologies and components, once proved in TDS-01, will be employed in navigation and communication missions in the near-future." The indigenous TWT amplifier supports self-reliance in satellite transponder technology. Lastly, the Small Satellite Launch Vehicle (SSLV) will launch another dedicated satellite before March 2026.
