Key Points
NVS-01 is the first of the second-generation satellites for the NavIC constellation and with this launch it could be said that commencing of NavIC 2.0 has begun...
The successful launch of the GSLV-F12/NVS-01 mission by Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) on May 29, 2023 opens a new chapter in Indias space-based navigation dream..
NVS series of satellites incorporates L1 band signals additionally to widen the services.The L1 frequency is used for the primary navigation signal (band for civilian navigational use), whereas the L5 frequency is used for the enhanced precision (say, differential GPS) signal..
The main concern of the CAG was that the life of a navigational satellite is 10 to12 years and the IRNSS satellites were lying idle in space, since no ground equipment available for effective utilisation of the signal..
Around 2016, a Bengaluru-based firm along with ISRO developed a technology that can receive and process signals from IRNSS.ISRO has developed a micro chipset to be used for navigation purposes and designed miniaturised version micro chipset for very small navigation devices..
