ISRO makes HISTORY with CMS-03 launch! 🚀

India’s HEAVIEST communication satellite will now be in orbit, a huge boost for the Indian Navy & national security. 🇮🇳

Here’s why this mission truly matters:
(A thread 🧵)

1/n ISRO successfully launched CMS-03 (GSAT-7R) a, 4,400 kg multi-band communication satellite, the heaviest ever built and launched by India to Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit (GTO).

2/n The mission flew aboard LVM3-M5, India’s most powerful operational rocket, the same launcher that carried Chandrayaan-3 to the Moon.

3/n CMS-03 is designed primarily for the Indian Navy. ⚓

It provides secure voice, video & data communication between ships, submarines, aircraft, and ground stations across the Indian Ocean Region (IOR).

4/n This satellite will operate across multiple frequency bands, including UHF/S, C, Extended-C, and Ku bands, giving India’s defence forces uninterrupted, encrypted connectivity even in remote maritime zones.

5/n Its coverage will span the entire Indian landmass and vast oceanic areas, ensuring real-time situational awareness and operational coordination across thousands of kilometres.

6/n With CMS-03, India strengthened its space-based defence communications and demonstrated indigenisation in advanced satellite design and secure transponder technology, a true step toward “Make in India”.

7/n CMS-03 is more than just a satellite, it’s India’s Sky Shield. 🇮🇳

Orbiting high above Earth, it connects the nation’s naval and defence assets with unbreakable, secure communication links, protecting our seas and strengthening our sovereignty.
