ISRO Plans October 30 Launch of NVS-03 to Strengthen NavIC Navigation System
ISRO is set to launch the NVS-03 satellite on October 30, 2026, from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota using the GSLV-F18 rocket. This mission aims to strengthen NavIC, India's indigenous satellite navigation system, which currently faces a shortage of operational satellites after recent failures. NavIC provides positioning, navigation, and timing services across India and surrounding regions, supporting civilian and strategic applications while reducing reliance on foreign systems like GPS.
