The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO)<\/strong><\/a> successfully launched the NVS-02 satellite, part of the Navigation with Indian Constellation (NavIC) system, marking its 100th satellite launch from Sriharikota. This significant milestone strengthens India\u2019s indigenous navigation capabilities and advances its space technology ambitions.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n\n \u00a0<\/p>\n ISRO launched the NVS-02 satellite aboard GSLV-F15<\/strong> from Sriharikota on Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n This marks ISRO\u2019s 100th satellite launch<\/strong> from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC).<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n NVS-02 is part of the NavIC system<\/strong>, enhancing India\u2019s regional navigation services.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n The satellite weighs nearly 2,000 kg<\/strong> and was successfully placed in a Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n NavIC offers Standard Positioning Service (SPS) and Restricted Service (RS)<\/strong> for precise location tracking.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n A new spaceport is under development in Kulasekarapattinam<\/strong>, expected to be operational within two years.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n ISRO Chairman Dr. V. Narayanan confirmed the success of the mission<\/strong>, marking his first major launch since taking over.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n The GSLV-F15<\/strong><\/a> rocket lifted off from Sriharikota\u2019s second launch pad at 6:23 AM IST<\/strong>, carrying the NVS-02 satellite. The launch vehicle successfully deployed the satellite into a Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit about 19 minutes after takeoff. ISRO Chairman Dr. V. Narayanan<\/strong><\/a> confirmed the mission\u2019s success, making this the first ISRO launch of 2025<\/strong>.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n @isro<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n NVS-02 is the second satellite in the NVS series<\/strong>, designed to improve NavIC<\/strong><\/a>, India\u2019s regional navigation system. The satellite offers:<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Standard Positioning Service (SPS):<\/strong> Open for civilian use, with an accuracy better than 20 meters<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Restricted Service (RS):<\/strong> Secure navigation for military and strategic applications.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Equipped with advanced payloads in the L1, L5, and S bands<\/strong>, along with a C-band ranging payload, NVS-02 enhances India\u2019s navigation capabilities for:<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Terrestrial, aerial, and maritime navigation<\/p>\n Precision agriculture and fleet management<\/p>\n Emergency response and geodetic surveying<\/p>\n Location-based services in mobile devices<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Since its first satellite launch in 1979<\/strong>, ISRO has achieved 100 successful launches from Sriharikota<\/strong> across various missions. These include:<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n PSLV:<\/strong> 62 launches<\/p>\n GSLV:<\/strong> 16 launches<\/p>\n LVM3:<\/strong> 7 launches<\/p>\n ASLV & SLV:<\/strong> 4 each<\/p>\n SSLV:<\/strong> 3 launches<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Additionally, 537 launches have taken place<\/strong> at the Sounding Rocket Complex in Sriharikota since 1971.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n ISRO is\u00a0developing\u00a0a new spaceport\u00a0<\/strong>dedicated to small satellite launches in Kulasekarapattinam, Tamil Nadu<\/span>. Unlike Sriharikota, this location allows rockets to head directly south<\/strong>, avoiding fuel-consuming detours around Sri Lanka. The spaceport is expected to be operational within two years<\/strong>.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n The launch of NVS-02 aboard GSLV-F15<\/strong> marks another major achievement for ISRO, enhancing India\u2019s independent satellite navigation system<\/strong> and setting the stage for future advancements. With plans for a third launch pad in Sriharikota<\/strong> and a new spaceport in Tamil Nadu<\/strong>, India is rapidly expanding its space capabilities, reinforcing its position as a global leader in space exploration.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Follow Before You Take<\/span><\/a> on <\/span>Facebook<\/span><\/a> | <\/span>Twitter<\/span><\/a> | <\/span>WhatsApp Channel<\/span><\/a> | <\/span>Instagram<\/span><\/a> | <\/span>Telegram<\/span><\/a> | <\/span>Threads<\/span><\/a> | <\/span>LinkedIn<\/span><\/a>, For the <\/span>Latest Technology News & Updates<\/span><\/a> | <\/span>Latest Electric Vehicles News<\/a> | <\/span>Electronics News<\/a> | Mobiles News<\/a> | Software Updates<\/a><\/p>\n The post ISRO\u2019s Historic 100th Launch: GSLV-F15 Successfully Deploys NVS-02 NavIC Satellite for Enhanced Navigation Services<\/a> appeared first on Before You Take<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u00a0 The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) successfully launched the NVS-02 satellite, part of the Navigation with Indian Constellation (NavIC) system, marking its 100th satellite launch from Sriharikota.
