Business Standard · science

Isro is set to launch its next-generation navigation satellite, NVS-03, on October 30 from Sriharikota. This mission aims to restore India's indigenous satellite navigation system, NavIC, to standalone positioning services. NVS-03 is designed to improve the continuity and reliability of NavIC, which provides positioning, navigation, and timing services. The satellite carries an indigenous atomic clock and adds an L1 signal to enhance compatibility with user devices. NavIC aims to reduce India's dependence on foreign navigation systems like GPS.
