ISRO to Launch US-Built Communication Satellite
India's space agency, ISRO, is going to launch a big communication satellite that the USA made.
It all started a long time ago when the US gave them a tiny rocket.
Now, ISRO builds its own rockets and sends up satellites for other countries.
They recently launched a very expensive satellite called NISAR with help from the US, which shows how good they have become.
ISRO has made a huge jump and now has many satellites.
ISRO will launch a 6,500 kg US-built communication satellite.
The launch signifies India's progress in the space journey.
ISRO's space program began in 1963 with a rocket from the US.

ISRO has launched 433 satellites for 34 countries.
