Indian Space Agency ISRO (ISRO) has proved its capability all over the world. ISRO is known for completing missions at low cost. Be it our Mangalyaan or Chandrayaan, all have proved to be successful missions at low cost. From time to time, ISRO also sends satellites of other countries into space and now it is also launching private missions. In this sequence, the second batch of 36 satellites of OneWeb will be launched on LVM3 rocket from Sriharikota on Sunday.

In a tweet on Monday, ISRO informed that the LVM3-M3/OneWeb India-2 mission is scheduled to take place on March 26 at 9 am from the second launch pad at Sriharikota.

Recently, on March 9, the Falcon-9 rocket of Elon Musk’s company SpaceX delivered 40 OneWeb satellites to their orbit.
