ISRO’s LVM3-M5 Launches India’s Heaviest Communication Satellite from Sriharikota

India’s space programme reached another historic milestone as ISRO’s LVM3-M5 rocket lifted off successfully from Sriharikota, carrying the country’s heaviest communication satellite, CMS-03, weighing over 4,400 kg. Known as “Bahubali” for its immense power, the Launch Vehicle Mark-3 placed the satellite into a geosynchronous transfer orbit, ensuring expanded multi-band coverage across India and nearby oceanic regions. The CMS-03 satellite is expected to significantly boost strategic and civilian communication, particularly enhancing connectivity for the Indian Navy. This successful mission reinforces India’s self-reliance in space technology and showcases ISRO’s growing capability in heavy-lift satellite launches.
