LVM-3, also known as GSLV Mk III, is an expendable launch vehicle developed by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). It is designed to carry heavier payloads into space, making it suitable for launching satellites into geostationary orbits. The vehicle has a higher payload capacity compared to its predecessors, allowing for more ambitious space missions. The first successful flight of LVM-3 occurred in 2014, and it has since been used for various missions, including the launch of the GSAT series of communication satellites. Its robust design and advanced technology make it a key asset for India's growing space program.
