India Successfully Launches Its Heaviest Communication Satellite
(MENAFN- Kuwait News Agency (KUNA))
NEW DELHI, Nov 2 (KUNA) -- Indian space authorities announced on Sunday the successful launch of heaviest communication satellite from Indian soil.
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) said that it successfully launched the CMS-03 communication satellite on board LVM3-M5 from the second launch pad at Sriharikota island in southern Indian state of Andhra Pradesh.
The satellite weighing around 4400 kg is the heaviest satellite to be placed into the Geo-synchronous Transfer Orbit from India.
Announcing the successful launch of the heavy communication satellite, ISRO Chief V Narayanan said: "The CMS-03 satellite is a multi-band communication satellite with coverage over a wide oceanic region, including the Indian landmass, and is designed for providing communication services for at least 15 years. The satellite incorporates a host of new technologies and yet another shiny example of self-reliance."
He congratulated the entire satellite team spread across various ISRO centres for realising this important and complex satellite for the communication capability of the country. "Even under this difficult weather condition, we could come out successfully and accomplish this mission in a grand and successful manner," he said.
Announcing a major experiment carried out on the occasion, the ISRO Chief said: "For the first time, we have, after successfully injecting the satellite into orbit and reorienting the stage, successfully ignited the thrust chamber. This is going to be a great experiment, which is going to feed data for restarting the cryogenic stage in future for enabling the mission flexibility for placing multiple satellites in various orbits using the Bahubali rocket LVM-3."
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulated ISRO on the occasion saying, "Our space sector continues to make us proud. Powered by our space scientists, it is commendable how our space sector has become synonymous with excellence and innovation. Their successes have furthered national progress and empowered countless lives," Modi said. (end)
