ISRO Achieves Milestones with LVM3-M6 Launch
UPSC Key: LVM-3, Personality rights, and Akash-NG missile system · indianexpress.com

ISRO, India's space agency, recently launched a big rocket called LVM3-M6.

This rocket carried a very heavy satellite, called Bluebird Block-2, and successfully placed it in space.

This was a big deal because it was the heaviest payload ever launched by an Indian rocket.

ISRO has been doing many important things in space, like launching satellites for other countries and showing off new technologies.

They have launched satellites for 34 different countries, totaling 434 satellites.

ISRO is also getting ready for a big mission called Gaganyaan.

Even though ISRO does so many amazing things, not many people talk about it as much as they talk about cricket or movies.

ISRO is like a quiet hero, working hard and achieving great things without much attention.
