LVM3-M3 

The LVM3-M2 was the fifth launch of ISRO's LVM3 launch vehicle.[1][2] It was the first commercial launch of the rocket under NSIL and its first multi-satellite mission to low earth orbit. The cryogenic stage performed multiple reorientation and velocity addition maneuvers to sequentially dispose the satellites.

Payload

[edit]

On 20 April 2022 OneWeb announced a deal with NewSpace India Limited, the commercial arm of the Indian Space Research Organisation.[3] OneWeb satellites were to be deployed by LVM 3 [4] using a lightly modified version of the satellite dispenser previously used on Soyuz rockets, a plan cancelled after the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.[5] The mission was also referred to as Oneweb India-1 campaign.

The separation of satellites involved a unique maneuver of the cryogenic stage to orientation and re-orientation covering 9 phases spanning 75 minutes.This was OneWeb's 14th launch, bringing their constellation to 462 satellites.[6]
