ISRO provided an update on the LVM3-M5/CMS-03 mission in a post on social media. According to ISRO, CMS-03 successfully separated from the rocket, which ISRO described as a perfect ejection.
Indian Navy Launches GSAT-7R
New Delhi: ISRO successfully launched the CMS-03 (GSAT-7R) communication satellite from Sriharikota today using its powerful LVM3-M5 rocket. This satellite was specially designed for the Indian Navy. Weighing approximately 4,000 kilograms, this satellite is India's heaviest communication satellite to date. This will significantly improve maritime communications and maritime surveillance for the Navy. This satellite is equipped with several state-of-the-art, indigenously developed equipment, which will further strengthen the Indian Navy's operational capabilities.

ISRO Chief Congratulates on Successful Launch
On the launch of the CMS-03 communication satellite by ISRO's LVM-M5, ISRO Chief V. Narayanan said, "The CM-03 satellite is a multi-band communication satellite, covering a wide oceanic area, including the Indian landmass, and is designed to provide communication services for at least 15 years. This satellite incorporates many new technologies and is another shining example of a self-reliant India. I congratulate the entire satellite team working across multiple ISRO centers for realizing this critical, complex satellite for the country's communication capabilities. We faced difficult and challenging times during the launch campaign. The weather was not favorable. Nevertheless, I take this opportunity to commend all of you for successfully completing this mission in a grand and successful manner, even under these difficult weather conditions."
ISRO Chief Provides Update on C-25 Cryogenic
The ISRO Chief further said, "On this occasion, I would also like to announce an important experiment that we have conducted." The indigenously developed C-25 cryogenic stage. For the first time, we have successfully ignited the satellite after successfully placing it in orbit and reorienting the stage. The thrust chamber... This is going to be a great experiment, which will provide data for future cryogenic stage restarts, enabling mission flexibility to place multiple satellites in multiple orbits using the Bahubali rocket LVM-3.
Improving Digital Access to Remote Areas
The CMS-03 satellite will enhance platform connectivity with faster and higher capacity bandwidth, improving digital access to remote areas. It will also enable secure communication links between naval ships, aircraft, and submarines, in addition to civilian services, thereby strengthening India's maritime security. A statement issued by the Navy said that this satellite will strengthen the Navy's space-based communication and maritime domain awareness capabilities. It incorporates several indigenous state-of-the-art components specifically developed to meet the operational requirements of the Indian Navy.
CMS-03 Launched on Bahubali Rocket
According to ISRO, CMS-03, weighing approximately 4,400 kg, is the heaviest satellite to be launched from Indian soil and placed in geosynchronous transfer orbit (GTO). It was launched aboard the LVM3-M5 rocket. The LVM3-M5 rocket is nicknamed Bahubali due to its ability to carry heavy payloads of up to 4,000 kg.
Data will be available securely and quickly.
CMS-03 stands for Communication Satellite Mission-03. This multi-band communication satellite will operate on multiple radio waves. It will feature internet connectivity, video conferencing, and secure data transmission. It will provide a robust communication network to remote areas, ships, and aircraft, and will provide faster data transmission than previous communication satellites. ISRO stated that this communication satellite, developed specifically for the Navy, will operate for seven years.
