ISRO to Launch NVS-03 Satellite on October 30 to Restore NavIC System
ISRO plans to launch the NVS-03 satellite on October 30 from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre using the GSLV-F18 rocket. This mission aims to restore India's NavIC regional navigation system, which has faced setbacks after the NVS-02 satellite's propulsion failure in 2025. NVS-03 features an indigenous atomic clock and will transmit additional signals to enhance coverage over India and surrounding regions. ISRO has implemented engineering changes to prevent previous mission failures and ensure continuity of accurate positioning services.
