ISRO's 2025 Space Missions: Upcoming Launches and Schedules
ISRO is getting ready to send some new satellites into space before the year ends.
First, on November 2nd, they will launch a big communication satellite called CMS-03 using their LVM3 rocket.
This satellite will help with communication over India and the oceans.
Then, in early December, another LVM3 rocket will launch a satellite called LVM3-M6.
Finally, in mid to late December, ISRO plans to launch the PSLV-C62 rocket.
This is important because the PSLV rocket had a problem on its last flight, so this mission will show it's ready to fly again.
ISRO has three space missions scheduled for November and December 2025.
The LVM3-M5 mission on November 2nd will launch the CMS-03 communication satellite, the heaviest of its kind by ISRO.
LVM3-M6, featuring a CE20 cryogenic engine, is scheduled for the first week of December.
The PSLV-C62 mission is planned for mid to late December, marking a return to flight for the PSLV after a prior failure.
These missions aim to provide communication services and enhance India's space capabilities.
