Isro is gearing up to launch the Indian Navy’s GSAT-7R (CMS-03) communication satellite today.
Weighing around 4,400 kg, GSAT-7R will be India’s heaviest indigenous communication satellite, designed to strengthen the Navy’s maritime communication and surveillance network across the Indian Ocean Region.
The satellite, equipped with multi-band transponders, will enable secure, high-capacity voice, data, and video connectivity between ships, aircraft, submarines, and operations centres.
