ISRO to Launch NVS-03 Satellite to Restore India's NavIC Navigation System
ISRO plans to launch the NVS-03 satellite on October 30, 2026, to restore India's regional navigation system, NavIC. NavIC, which provides location and timing services across India and nearby regions, has faced operational challenges due to aging satellites and failed replacements. The new satellite aims to meet the minimum requirement of four operational satellites to resume independent positioning services, enhancing reliability and reducing dependence on foreign navigation systems.
