The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) is gearing up for another collaboration with the US with its BlueBird-6 satellite, a 6.5-tonne satellite expected to be launched by the end of the year, said ISRO Chairman Dr. V. Narayanan on Thursday.

The collaboration has come on the heels of the successful launch of the NASA-ISRO Synthetic Aperture Radar Mission (NISAR) by ISRO in July.

“BlueBird is a communication satellite. We have received the satellite, and we are working on the launch. The launch vehicle build-up is going on,” Narayanan told IANS during a media briefing for ESTIC-2025. “The date will be announced by the Prime Minister at the appropriate time,” he said, adding, “We are targeting to accomplish it before the end of this year.”
