GSAT-7R (also known as CMS-02) is a planned Indian military communication satellite for the Indian Navy to replace GSAT-7. The satellite is projected to cost ₹1,589 crores (US$225.5 million). It was initially expected to be launched in December 2024 on a GSLV Mk II.[1][2][3][4]
However, as of August 2025, the delivery timeline slipped by a year and is now expected to be launched in late 2025 onboard ISRO's Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle.[5][6]
As of 23 October 2025, the launch is scheduled on 2 November onboard LVM3-M5.[7] The satellite will utilise multiple frequency bands, including UHF, S, C and Ku bands, to transmit voice, video and data among naval ships, submarines and aircraft deployed across the Indian Ocean Region, covering up to 2,000 km from India's coastline.[8]
