India's Next NavIC Satellite NVS-03 Ready for Launch After NVS-02 Failure
India's next NavIC satellite, NVS-03, is ready for launch following corrective measures after the NVS-02 launch failure in January 2025. The NavIC system, designed as a seven-satellite constellation for regional navigation, currently has only three operational satellites, limiting its full functionality. The government plans to launch NVS-04, NVS-05, and one additional satellite to complete the base layer, but no specific launch dates have been announced. The NVS series is the second generation of NavIC satellites, succeeding the IRNSS series launched between 2013 and 2018.
