ISRO to launch NVS-03 navigation satellite on October 30
ISRO will launch the NVS-03 navigation satellite on October 30 using its GSLV-F18 rocket. The mission is meant to strengthen NavIC, India's own navigation system. The system has struggled with ageing satellites and too few atomic clocks, and a successful launch is needed to deploy the satellite.
ContextContext: NavIC is India's regional satellite navigation system, an alternative to GPS for positioning in India and nearby areas. Satellites in it wear out over time, so new launches are needed to keep it working reliably.
