ISRO Launches NVS-03 Satellite to Strengthen India's NavIC Navigation System
India's space agency ISRO successfully launched the navigation satellite NVS-03 on October 30, restoring the NavIC constellation critical for regional positioning and timing services. The satellite, carrying indigenous and procured atomic clocks, is fully operational and undergoing in-orbit testing. NavIC, developed to reduce dependence on foreign systems, provides accurate navigation across India and nearby regions. ISRO plans to launch two more satellites, NVS-04 and NVS-05, to further strengthen the system. ISRO Chairman V. Narayanan also highlighted the agency's role in ensuring astronaut safety during the Axiom-4 mission.
