Mission Details
CMS-02
AKA GSAT-7R
The GSAT-7R, designed exclusively for the Indian Navy, will succeed the GSAT-7 Rukmini satellite launched in 2013. Rukmini has long been the backbone of naval communications, enabling secure real-time links between warships, submarines, aircraft, and shore-based command centers across the Indian Ocean.
With upgraded payloads, GSAT-7R is designed to expand secure, multi-band communications for the Navy’s growing blue-water operations. Its enhanced coverage and resilience will strengthen India’s network-centric warfare capabilities and extend the Navy’s operational reach across critical maritime domains.
