India has launched its heaviest-ever communications satellite, GSAT-7R, designed to boost the Indian Navy’s maritime operations and secure space-based communications.
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) announced that the GSAT-7R, also known as CMS-03, lifted off from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota on Sunday evening.
“CMS-03 separated successfully. Perfect injection,” ISRO wrote on social media platform X, confirming the satellite’s successful deployment.
According to India’s Defence Ministry, the new satellite represents “the most advanced communication satellite thus far for the Indian Navy.”
It will strengthen the Navy’s space-based communications and maritime domain awareness across the Indian Ocean Region.
Described as the country’s “heaviest” communications satellite to date, GSAT-7R incorporates several indigenous components developed specifically for naval operations.
The satellite will provide enhanced and secure telecommunication links to naval forces, further integrating India’s growing space capabilities with its defence infrastructure.
