The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) is going to execute an important international commercial mission on Wednesday (December 24, 2025). The American company’s next generation communication satellite ‘Bluebird Block-2’ will be sent into space from the launch pad in Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh. The launch is scheduled for Wednesday (December 24) at 8:54 am. Under this mission, ISRO will place the satellite in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) through its heavy rocket LVM3.

The American company’s satellite ‘Bluebird Block-2’ has been specifically designed to provide 4G/5G high-speed cellular broadband directly to smartphones around the world. This mission is part of a commercial agreement with US-based AST Spacemobile (AST & Science, LLC). The company is developing the first and only space-based cellular broadband network that will work directly on smartphones without any special equipment and is designed for both commercial and government uses.

Successful launch of satellite will benefit 6 billion mobile users

According to AST Spacemobile, after the successful launch of this satellite, about 6 billion mobile users around the world will be able to benefit from better connectivity. The company has already launched five satellites from Bluebird-1 to Bluebird-5 in September 2024, which have made continuous internet coverage possible in America and some other countries.

The company is planning to launch many more such satellites in the future to further strengthen its network and for this has partnered with more than 50 mobile operators around the world. According to ISRO, this is a dedicated commercial launch, which is being done under the agreement between New Space India Limited (NSIL) and AST Spacemobile. New Space India Limited is the commercial arm of ISRO based in Bengaluru.

A question often comes in the minds of youth who dream of making a career in space science. How much salary does a research scientist working in NASA get and is it more than ISRO? India’s ISRO and America’s NASA, both are well-known space agencies in the world. Let us know some special things related to these…

NASA i.e. National Aeronautics and Space Administration is America’s government space agency. Research scientists, engineers, astronauts and technical experts work here. The job of a research scientist in NASA is to plan new missions, conduct space-related experiments and develop new technology.

Salary of research scientist in NASA

The salary of a research scientist in NASA is decided on the government salary structure of America. There salary is given in dollars. Generally, a research scientist can get an annual salary of around $70,000 to $1,50,000.

If we convert it into Indian Rupees, then this amount comes to around Rs 58 lakh to Rs 1.25 crore annually. With increasing experience and reaching a senior position, the salary can become even higher. Apart from this, many facilities are also available in NASA, like health insurance, research fund, paid leave and retirement benefits.

How much salary do you get in ISRO?

Now let’s talk about India’s ISRO. Recruitment of new scientists in ISRO is usually done on the post of Scientist/Engineer ‘SC’. The basic salary of this post is around Rs 56,100 per month. When dearness allowance, house allowance and other government allowances are added to it, the total salary reaches approximately Rs 80,000 to Rs 1 lakh per month. That means the annual earning is around Rs 9 to 12 lakh. With increasing experience, one gets promotion in ISRO and salary also increases.

Why is there so much difference between the salaries of NASA and ISRO?

The biggest reason is the difference in economic condition and currency of the countries. America’s economy is much bigger than India and the salary level there is also higher. Since the value of the dollar is much higher than the Indian rupee, NASA’s salary sounds huge.

The second reason is cost of living. In America, the cost of housing, food, health and education is very high. Whereas in India the salary of ISRO may be less, but the cost of living here is also less.

Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) is going to send its heaviest communication satellite ever, CMS-03, into space on Sunday. This satellite will play a big role in strengthening the communication network in the Indian Navy and wide maritime areas.

Heaviest satellite to be launched from India
ISRO said that CMS-03, weighing about 4,410 kg, will be the heaviest satellite ever sent from Indian soil to Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit (GTO). This satellite falls in the heavier category of 4,000 kg and will be helpful in upgrading the country’s military-communication system.

‘Bahubali’ will be launched with rocket LVM3-M5
CMS-03 will be launched through ISRO’s most powerful rocket LVM3-M5. Due to its ability to lift heavy loads, this 43.5 meter long rocket is famous by the name of ‘Baahubali’. Integration of the rocket and satellite has been completed and it has been transferred to the second launch pad for pre-launch procedures.

Satellite will fly on Sunday evening
ISRO confirmed that this mission will launch at 5.26 pm on Sunday evening. LVM3 is a three-stage launch vehicle, consisting of two solid motor strap-ons (S200), a liquid propellant core stage (L110), a cryogenic stage (C25). This structure gives ISRO complete technical independence to place its heavy communication satellites in GTO.

GSLV MK-III also known as LVM3
LVM3 is also scientifically called GSLV MK-III. The mission version LVM3-M5 is the fifth expeditionary flight of this rocket. It is used to place 4,000 kg class satellites in space in a cost-effective manner.

Earlier GSAT-11 was the heaviest Indian satellite
ISRO had earlier launched its heaviest communication satellite GSAT-11 (weighing 5,854 kg) in December 2018. It was launched from the European rocket Ariane-5 from the Kourou center in French Guiana. Although GSAT-11 is ISRO’s heaviest satellite built, CMS-03 is the heaviest satellite ever launched from India.

Will strengthen maritime and military communications
CMS-03 is a multi-band communications satellite, aimed at providing secure and robust communications services over the Indian landmass as well as over the wider maritime domain. This satellite will prove important for naval operations and maritime surveillance.

Successful launch of Chandrayaan-3 was also done with this rocket.
LVM3 is the same rocket that sent Chandrayaan-3 into space in 2023. Through this, India became the first country in the world to successfully land near the south pole of the Moon. LLVM3 is capable of carrying heavy payloads with the help of its powerful cryogenic stage. This rocket can deliver a satellite weighing approximately 4,000 kg to Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit (GTO), while it has the capability to place a payload of up to 8,000 kg in Low Earth Orbit (LEO).

New satellite CMS-03 for Indian Navy
A new satellite CMS-03, designed to strengthen the maritime defense communications of the Indian Navy, will be launched soon. This satellite will play an important role in making the communication network in the maritime sector modern and more efficient.

CMS-03 will replace Rukmini (GSAT-7)
The CMS-03 satellite will replace the Navy’s existing satellite GSAT-7 (Rukmini), which has been continuously serving the communication needs of the Indian Navy since 2013. During ‘Operation Sindoor’, the Rukmini satellite and deployed naval assets played a vital role in keeping the Pakistan Navy under control through network-centric operations.

India is now going to take a big decision regarding the safety of its satellites in space. The Indian Space Research Center (ISRO) plans to deploy ‘bodyguards satellites’ to protect Indian satellites in space. Just as the Indian Air Defense System S-400 protected from the missiles fired by Pakistan during Operation Sindoor, similarly these satellites will destroy Indian satellites every nefarious plan of enemy countries.

Bloomberg quoted sources as saying that the idea on it started when in 2024, the neighboring satellite came to a close to a satellite of ISRO. The distance between the two satellites was just one kilometer. In space, this satellite was in orbit of 500 to 600 km and was doing work related to military activities such as mapping and ground monitoring. However, somehow collision was averted.
How much budget did India keep?

This initiative of India regarding space is part of the government’s comprehensive security scheme. According to sources, under this, a fleet of 50 monitoring satellites will be prepared at a cost of about 2.7 lakh crore rupees. India’s preparation can be gauged from the fact that the first of these satellites can be launched only by next year. Apart from this, the Government of India is also planning to work on new technologies with other startups.

China and Pakistan will fail

Experts believe that as satellites are becoming important on both military and citizens, this step of India will take not only national security but also strategic strength to new heights. In the last 70 years, there have been four wars between India and Pakistan. In the battlefield, Pakistan has had to face again and again, in such a situation, Pakistan can harm Indian satellites in space with its friend China.

China helped Pakistan

According to data from the website N2y0.com, who monitors spacecraft, Pakistan has only eight satellites, while India have more than 100 satellites. At the same time, the number of China’s satellites is more than 900. A research group had said in May that China had helped Pakistan during Operation Sindoor.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba addressed a joint press conference on Friday (August 29, 2025). During this time, the two leaders committed to take special strategic and global partnerships between India-Japan to new heights. PM Modi started his address, expressing gratitude to Prime Minister Ishiba’s warm welcome and intimate words, saying that today’s discussion was useful and purposeful.

He said, ‘India and Japan are not only two major economies, but also vibrant democracy and in such a situation their partnership is not limited to bilateral interests, but it is also important for global peace and stability and is also a natural partner to create strong democracy, better world system.’

He said, ‘India-Japan relations with these initiatives will not only strengthen economic and technically, but will also provide a new direction on the global platform. He expressed confidence that the partnership of the two countries in the coming years will further strengthen the path of world peace, stability and development.

ISRO,Jaxa Combined space mission will promote the cooperation of startups- Prime Minister

PM Modi said, “The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) and Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (Jaxa) will give new pace to cooperation between industries and startups of both countries.” In an interview to Japan’s newspaper The Yomuri Shimbun, PM Modi said that these joint missions will also help in developing intensive understanding of the shadow areas of the southern pole of the moon.

He said, ‘Our government-to-government partnership in the space sector is creating such a culture of cooperation between ISRO and Jaxa, which is also adding industries and startups of both countries. With this, an ecosystem is being prepared, where innovation from launchpads to launchpad and research to real -life applications is taking place from both sides.

The Prime Minister said, ‘I am glad that India and Japan are joining hands for the next mission of the Chandrayaan series i.e. Lunar Polar Exploration. This mission will deepen our understanding of areas with permanent shadow on the southern pole of the moon.

Chandrayaan-5 will include Jacksa’s Rover and ISRO’s lander

Chandrayaan-5 is the fifth mission of the Chandrayaan series, also known as Lupex. This joint mission of ISRO and Jacksa will be launched from Japan’s H3 rocket in the year 2027-28. The mission will include Jacksa’s rover and ISRO’s lander, which will discover and analyze water-arms into the southern polar region of the moon.

Scientists of both countries will touch the new boundary of space science- PM Modi

PM Modi expressed confidence that the scientific teams of both countries will together touch the new boundaries of space science. He said, ‘Our partnership will not only expand the horizon in space, but will also improve life on earth.’ Prime Minister Modi told India’s space trip “Story of Indian scientists’ resolutions, hard work and innovation” and said that space is the next dimension for India.

Space is not the last border of India, next limit- PM Modi

He said, ‘From the historical success of Chandrayaan-3 to the progress in our intergraginal missions, India has continuously proved that space is not the final limit, but the next limit.’ Apart from this, the PM also explained how the effect of space science is seen in our daily life from agriculture to disaster management, communication and other fields.
