ISRO, the Indian Space Research Organisation, successfully launched the communication satellite CMS-03, weighing over 4,400 kilograms, on Sunday. The agency announced that this satellite will be the most advanced communication satellite for the Indian Navy, enhancing communication and surveillance capabilities in maritime regions.
The Indian Navy’s Latest Satellite
The LVM3-M5 rocket by ISRO carried the CMS-03 communication satellite, marking a significant milestone. The GSAT 7R (CMS-03) communication satellite is set to be the most advanced communication satellite for the Indian Navy, significantly boosting communication and surveillance capabilities in maritime regions. This satellite, weighing approximately 4,400 kilograms, includes cutting-edge indigenous components to fulfill the Navy’s requirements.
ISRO’s Statement
ISRO revealed that the LVM3-M5 is the fifth operational flight, enhancing India’s space capabilities. Previously, on December 5, 2018, ISRO launched the heaviest communication satellite, GSAT-11, using the Ariane-5 VA-246 rocket in French Guiana. Weighing around 5,854 kilograms, GSAT-11 is ISRO’s heaviest satellite yet, serving vast maritime areas with enhanced communication services.
Multi-Purpose Communication Satellite
The mission objectives of CMS-03, a multi-band communication satellite, aim to provide services across vast maritime regions, including Indian territory. The successful launch of GSAT-11, ISRO’s heaviest satellite to date, demonstrates the agency’s commitment to enhance communication capabilities and serve the nation’s communication needs.
Final Launch for Chandrayaan-3
ISRO successfully launched Chandrayaan-3 using the LVM-3 rocket. The Chandrayaan-3 mission aims to reach the southern pole of the Moon, marking a significant achievement for India’s space exploration efforts. The LVM-3 rocket, equipped with powerful cryogenic stages, is capable of carrying payloads to Geostationary Transfer Orbit (GTO) and Low Earth Orbit (LEO) missions.
