New Delhi: Filmmaker SS Rajamouli, who just rereleased Baahubali in theatres, celebrated the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) naming one of its rockets after the film’s character, calling it a privilege for the entire team.
India witnessed a proud moment in space history as ISRO successfully launched its heaviest communication satellite, CMS-03 Monday. The satellite, aimed at enhancing telecommunication and broadcasting capabilities, was carried into orbit by ISRO’s most powerful launch vehicle, which has now earned an affectionate and familiar nickname, ‘Baahubali’.
“Congratulations to #ISRO on the successful launch of the heaviest communication satellite CMS-03 today! A proud moment for India, showcasing our technological strength and self-reliance in space exploration. Onwards and upwards!” the director wrote in an X post Sunday.
