Isro has planned to make three uncrewed missions before the crewed mission under the Gaganyaan programme.

Congratulating the space agency, PM Modi claimed that the successful launch of Bahubali would ensure national progress, and it would empower countless lives.

This breakthrough shows Isro's advancing technological prowess, particularly in enhancing space mission precision and efficiency.

Unlike its ageing predecessor GSAT-7 "Rukmini," CMS-03 offers significantly expanded coverage and bandwidth, ensuring real-time connectivity even in remote or contested ocean zones.​

CMS-03, weighing around 4,410 kg, is the heaviest communication satellite to be launched from Indian soil using a homegrown launch vehicle.

Isro's heaviest satellite launch to date lifted off on Sunday, as CMS-03 mission, weighing approximately 4,410 kg began its journey to space. The satellite was launched aboard the LVM3-M5 'Bahubali' rocket from Sriharikota, marking the first time Isro sent a satellite exceeding 4,000 kg into geosynchronous transfer orbit entirely from Indian soil.

This mission marks a significant milestone in India's space program, showcasing advancements in satellite technology and launch capabilities while addressing critical defense needs.

ISRO began the 24-hour countdown for the launch of its heaviest communication satellite, CMS-03, aboard the LVM3-M5 rocket from Sriharikota. The 4,410 kg satellite will be placed in a Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit.

Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket completed a successful 40-second static fire test in Florida, generating nearly four million pounds of thrust ahead of its planned November NASA Mars mission launch.

As the third known interstellar object in history, 3I/ATLAS has astronomers and the internet on edge. Is it just a comet from another star system, or something stranger, as Harvard's Avi Loeb hints?

The satellite will be lofted aboard the LVM3, India's most powerful launch vehicle, which has previously delivered milestone missions like Chandrayaan-3 to the Moon.​

The rapid launch cadence means SpaceX has already surpassed its 2024 total of 138 missions, with more than two months still left in the year.

The mission is expected to highlight growing strategic and scientific cooperation between Beijing and Islamabad.

This innovation marks a promising alternative to traditional semiconductor chips, which rely on costly rare-earth minerals and consume vast amounts of energy.​
