ISRO to Launch NVS-03 Satellite on October 30 to Enhance NavIC Services
ISRO is set to launch the NVS-03 navigation satellite aboard the GSLV-F18 rocket on October 30 from Sriharikota. This third satellite in the next-generation NavIC series carries an indigenous atomic clock and adds the L1 signal to existing L5 and S bands, enhancing navigation services across India and up to 1,500 km beyond. The mission aims to restore and strengthen NavIC's regional positioning capabilities after previous satellite malfunctions, marking the 20th GSLV flight.
