India, Nov. 2 -- The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) on Sunday launched its heaviest communication satellite to date, CMS-03, marking one of the major leaps in its satellite missions.

The satellite rode into a geosynchronous transfer orbit aboard the robust LVM-3 rocket at around 5:26 pm IST from Sriharikota.

GSAT-7R will provide robust telecommunication coverage across the Indian Ocean Region.

Its payload includes transponders capable of supporting voice, data, and video links over multiple communication bands.

In an era of complex security challenges, GSAT-7R represents Indian Navy's determination to protect the nation's maritime interests leveraging advanced technology through Aatmanirbharta.
