ISRO successfully launched Next Generation Navigational Satellite

The Indian Space Research Organisation has successfully launched first of the five second-generation satellites for the Navigation by Indian Constellation. The 2232 kg satellite NVS-01 is launched using a geosynchronous satellite launch vehicle - a GSLV rocket which will add to India’s regional navigation system and provide accurate & real time navigation. The rocket was lifted off from the second launch pad of the Satish Dhawan Space Centre and after a flight of 19 minutes, NVS-01 satellite was injected precisely into a geosynchronous orbit. The satellite has a mission life of over 12 years which is longer than the 10-year life of the first-generation satellites in the constellation. According to ISRO, NavIC is a regional navigation satellite system established to meet the positioning, navigation and timing requirements of the nation.
