ISRO on Sunday launched its heaviest communication satellite, CMS-03, aboard the powerful LVM3 rocket from Sriharikota at 5:26 pm. The 4,410 kg satellite separated from the rocket about 16 minutes after liftoff. Also called GSAT-7R, CMS-03 will greatly improve the Indian Navy’s communication network across the Indian Ocean. It offers secure, high-speed voice, data, and video links between ships, submarines, aircraft, and command centers. With broader coverage and stronger bandwidth than its predecessor GSAT-7 “Rukmini,” the satellite boosts India’s maritime security and strengthens self-reliance under the Atmanirbhar Bharat mission.
