ISRO on Sunday launched its heaviest communication satellite, CMS-03, aboard the powerful LVM3 rocket from Sriharikota at 5:26 pm. The 4,410 kg satellite separated from the rocket about 16 minutes after liftoff. Also called GSAT-7R, CMS-03 will greatly improve the Indian Navy’s communication network across the Indian Ocean.

At least 28 people have died in Jamaica after Hurricane Melissa hit the island earlier this week. Prime Minister Andrew Holness said the number could rise as more reports come in.

About 72% of Jamaicans still have no electricity, and 6,000 people are staying in shelters. Aid efforts were delayed due to airport closures and damaged roads.
