ISRO launches heaviest rocket LMV-3

Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) today launched 36 satellites in its heaviest rocket, LVM3.

ISRO's heaviest rocket blasted off from Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Andhra Pradesh's Sriharikota in the intervening night of Saturday and Sunday at 12:07 am to place 36 broadband communication satellites into the Low Earth Orbit (LEO) for a UK-based OneWeb.
OneWeb is a private satellite communications company, in which India's Bharti Enterprises is a major investor and shareholder.
ISRO's heaviest vehicle, LMV3, is also dubbed as one of the heaviest for its ability to carry satellites up to 8,000 kg.
