NVS-01 : ISRO
News:The Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV) of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is prepared to launch the navigation satellite NVS-01 from Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh.
The geosynchronous transfer orbit (GTO) of the NVS-01 navigation satellite is what the GSLV-F12/NVS-01 mission is intended to achieve.
The ISRO’s UR Rao Satellite Centre in Bengaluru is developing a line of second-generation navigation satellites, the first of which is NVS-01.
India now employs the Navigation with Indian Constellation (NavIC) family of satellites for both civilian and military navigation on the Indian subcontinent and up to 1500 km outside of its borders.
The NavIC will be supported and augmented by the NVS series of satellites.
This series uses signals in the L1 band.
An indigenous atomic clock will be flown in NVS-01 for the first time.
The Navigation with Indian Constellation (NavIC) regional navigation satellite system was developed by the ISRO to satisfy the needs of the country in terms of location, navigation, and timing.
Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS) was the previous name for NavIC.
