ISRO’s CMS-03 Launch to Strengthen Satellite Internet, TV Broadcasting, and Maritime Connectivity
Communication Satellite CMS-03: ISRO announced that the countdown has begun for the launch of the over 4,000 kg communications satellite CMS-03. The satellite will provide a new direction to India's high-capacity space communications and strengthen digital coverage and communications services in maritime areas.
The countdown for the launch of the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO)'s CMS-03 satellite mission has officially begun. ISRO on Sunday (November 2) will launch its 4,410 kg satellite CMS-03 at 5:26 pm. The launch will take place from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh.
This is ISRO's heaviest satellite. It will be launched into Earth's geosynchronous transfer orbit by the powerful 'Bahubali' rocket LVM3-M5. This will help improve the communication services in India and the vast oceanic areas around it. According to ISRO, all final preparations are complete and the systems are fully ready for launch.
The headquarters of the space agency in Bengaluru said on Saturday (November 1) that the launch vehicle has been fully assembled and integrated with the spacecraft and has been moved to the second launch site here for pre-launch operations.
