NEW DELHI: Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) is gearing up for another collaboration with the US, with its BlueBird-6 satellite, and a 6.5-tonne weighing satellite is expected to be launched by the year-end, said ISRO chairman Dr. V. Narayanan on Thursday.
The collaboration comes on the heels of the successful launch of the NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar Mission (NISAR) by ISRO in July.
"Blue Bird is a communication satellite. We have received the satellite, and we are working for the launch, and the launch vehicle build-up is going on, ” Narayanan told IANS during a media briefing for ESTIC-2025.
