ISRO's GSLV-F18 Mission Could Restore NavIC
India's space agency ISRO recently completed a GSLV-F18 mission that could bring back full working of NavIC, the country's own satellite navigation system. Experts say bigger reforms, more funding and greater manufacturing capacity will still be needed if India wants to reach its long-term space ambitions.
Context
NavIC is India's own regional satellite navigation network, meant so the country does not depend only on foreign systems like US GPS. ISRO is the Indian Space Research Organisation, and GSLV is one of its launch rockets used to put satellites into orbit.
