In a big milestone for India, the naval CMS-03 satellite, the heaviest ever launched from Indian soil, was successfully sent into space aboard the new-generation LVM3-M5 ‘Bahubali’ rocket on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Hours after the launch, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) shared a video of the successful lift off<\/a> and the on-board camera views. After a brief countdown, the communication satellite CMS-03, weighing 4,410 kg, was seen launching into space.<\/p>\n

The video also captured the separation of the two S200 solid rocket boosters and the L110 liquid core stage, after which the mission was successfully completed.<\/p>\n

Notably, the S200 boosters are mounted on either side of the rocket to provide the necessary thrust for lift-off, and the L110 Liquid Stage is powered by two Vikas engines, reported news agency PTI.<\/p>\n

CMS-03 is the heaviest satellite<\/a> to have been launched into the orbit from the Indian soil. The LVM3 rocket earlier facilitated the successful launch of Chandrayaan-3 mission in 2023. The satellite weighed 3841.4 kg.<\/p>\n

The CMS-03 is a multi-band communication satellite which was placed into the Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit (GTO) after lift-off from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre, in Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh. <\/p>\n

According to ISRO, the satellite’s launch into the orbit is expected to provide services across a wide oceanic region, including the Indian landmass. The \u201c4410 kg satellite is precisely injected\u201d, said ISRO Chairman V Narayanan in his address from the Mission Control Center post launch.<\/p>\n

The satellite was designed to provide communication<\/a> services for at least 15 years and is “yet another shining example of Atmanirbhar Bharat” (self-reliant India),” Narayanan, also Secretary, Department of Space, added.<\/p>\n

During the same address, V Narayanan gave the \u2018Bahubali\u2019 tag to the LVM3-M5 rocket, which carried the CMS-03 satellite into the GTO orbit on Sunday. The ISRO Chairman gave this tag to the rocket for its heavylifting capabilities.<\/p>\n

He also recalled the LVM3 rocket’s last launch – the “most prestigious Chandrayaan 3 which brought pride to nation.” According to PTI, the LVM 3 rockets have had eight launches so far, all of them successful, showing a 100 per cent success rate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In a big milestone for India, the naval CMS-03 satellite, the heaviest ever launched from Indian soil, was…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":258093,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[119833,49,48,119832,119829,119830,119831,119828,66,306],"class_list":["post-258092","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-space","tag-bahubali-rocket","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-communication-satellite-cms-03","tag-heaviest-satellite-launched-from-india","tag-isro-launch-video","tag-lvm3-m5-bahubali-rocket","tag-naval-cms-03-satellite","tag-science","tag-space"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/258092","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=258092"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/258092\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/258093"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=258092"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=258092"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=258092"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
