The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is set to launch the country’s heaviest communication satellite CMS-03 on Sunday (November 2). The launch is scheduled to take place from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh.

According to an IANS report, the CMS-03 is a multi-band military communication satellite, also known as GSAT-7R, and will be launched aboard the Launch Vehicle Mark 3 (LVM3).

The LVM3 is India's most powerful rocket and is the nation's heaviest launch vehicle and can carry up to 4,000 kg to space. It has successfully launched missions like Chandrayaan-3 to the Moon, which made India the first country to land successfully near the lunar south pole. The designated LVM3-M5 will be its fifth operational flight.
