ISRO launches 'Navik' satellite, will keep an eye on enemies with enhanced security


From earth to space, India has achieved many achievements. On Monday, the Indian Space Research Organisation, i.e. ISRO, successfully launched the navigation satellite NVS-1. This is part of the Spacecraft Navigation with Indian Constellation series. ISRO aims to increase capacity in the field of monitoring and navigation through this. The 2232 kg satellite (GSLV) was launched from the second launch pad at the Satish Dhawan Space Center in Sriharikota using the Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle.

Important contribution of Space Application Center at Ahmedabad

A rubidium atomic clock manufactured by the Space Applications Center in Ahmedabad is also being used in this navigation satellite. This rubidium atomic clock is indigenously manufactured. There are some countries that have such atomic clocks. This watch helps to tell the best and accurate location, position and time.

You may be using Google Maps or Apple Maps to navigate from one place to another. It's called the Global Positioning System (GPS), a free service. This is provided by the US government through a series of satellites in orbit. In fact, NavIC is India's answer to GPS. NavIC is a regional navigation satellite system developed by ISRO consisting of seven satellites in orbit, working together with ground stations. This network provides navigation services to both general users and military users i.e. Armed Forces.

All over India and network up to 1500 km

The system has been developed keeping in view the growing requirements of the civil aviation sector in the country for better positioning, navigation and timing. Its network covers the whole of India and an area of ​​up to 1500 km from the Indian border. It is designed in such a way that signals are generated to provide user position accuracy better than 20 meters and timing accuracy better than 50 nanoseconds. The system is used in land, air and sea transportation, location-based services, personal mobility, resource monitoring, surveying and geodesy, scientific research, time dissemination and life safety warning dissemination.
