ISRO CMS-03: What will be the purpose of ISRO's heaviest satellite? It will launch on November 2nd...
The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) is poised to make history once again. The organization has announced that India's heaviest communication satellite, CMS-03, will be launched on November 2, 2025. The launch will take place from the Satish Dhawan Space Center in Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh.
The CMS-03 satellite will be placed into orbit by the LVM3 rocket. This will be LVM3's fifth operational flight. This mission is considered a major step towards strengthening India's digital connectivity from space.
India's Heaviest Communication Satellite
According to ISRO, CMS-03 weighs approximately 4,400 kilograms, making it the heaviest communication satellite ever launched in India. This multi-band communication satellite will provide services to the Indian mainland and surrounding oceanic areas. The satellite aims to provide better network coverage, faster internet connectivity, and strengthen digital infrastructure.
High-speed connectivity will reach remote areas.
After the CMS-03 satellite is activated, the country's civilian, strategic, and maritime users will all benefit from advanced communication services. This mission will play a crucial role in expanding India's digital reach to remote areas. Additionally, the LVM3 rocket will once again demonstrate its capability to successfully launch heavy satellites into space.
LVM3's next mission after Chandrayaan-3
The LVM3 rocket brought India global recognition with the successful Chandrayaan-3 mission. Now, the same rocket is preparing to launch CMS-03 into space. Fueling, checkout, and final rehearsals are progressing rapidly before launch. This ISRO mission will not only enhance India's communication capabilities but will also give a new direction to the country's space program.
