ISRO Successfully Launches GSLV-F12 Navigation Satellite from Sriharikota

NEW DELHI: On Monday, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) launched NVS-01 and GSLV-F12, two very advanced navigation satellites.

This satellite is a component of the constellation of satellites known as the NavIC series, which is intended to improve monitoring and navigational capabilities. The NavIC series' second generation satellites, beginning with NVS-01, are designed to enhance system functionality and include cutting-edge technologies.

Meanwhile, according to a report, the user position precision of NavIC signals is greater than 20 metres, and the timing accuracy is better than 50 nanoseconds.

On Monday at 10:42 a.m. from the second launch pad at the Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SHAR), approximately 130 kilometres from Chennai, the 51.7-meter-tall Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle launched the 2,232-kg navigation satellite NVS-01 on its fifteenth flight.

Which has been orbit rising in satellite designed which is being expected atomic techmnllogy to widen the nation services which will be another matter took into look.

Taking on Twitter, Minister of Earth Sciences extend his best wishes to ISRo, A momentous day for India's space program!

Congratulations to

@ISRO on the successful launch of GSLV-F12 carrying NVS-1, the next-gen navigational satellite.

Under the visionary and dynamic leadership of Hon'ble PM Shri @narendramodi .”

Moreover, the NVS-01 navigation satellite, the mission's payload, is anticipated to split from the GSLV roughly 18 minutes after launch.

The satellite deployed into the Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit (GTO), weighing about 2,232 kg.

Following that, the team will do "orbit raising maneuvers" that are designed to move the satellite towards the desired orbit, according to ISRO.

Precision agriculture, terrestrial, aerial, and maritime navigation, location-based services for mobile devices, and marine fishing are just a few of the applications of NavIC.

Seven satellites make up the NavIC constellation, and a network of ground stations that are always operational. Standard Position Service (SPS) for civilian users and Restricted Service for strategic users are the two services that NavIC offers.

Signals from the NavIC SPS can communicate with those from the US Global Positioning System (GPS), Glonass from Russia, Galileo from the European Union, and BeiDou from China.
