ISRO efficiently launches NVS-02 satellite tv for pc; creates historical past with the a centesimal launch from Sriharikota

The Indian Area Analysis Organisation (ISRO) on Wednesday (January 29, 2025) morning launched its historic a centesimal launch from the Satish Dhawan Area Centre in Sriharikota.

The GSLV-F15 with the NVS-02 satellite tv for pc lifted off from the spaceport’s second launch pad at 6.23 a.m. and 19 minutes later the GSLV-F15 with indigenous cryogenic stage positioned the NVS-02 satellite tv for pc in a Geosynchronous Switch Orbit as meant.

“I’m extraordinarily completely happy to announce from the spaceport of ISRO that the primary launch of this yr has been efficiently completed with the GSLV-F15 exactly inserting the NVS-02 satellite tv for pc into the meant orbit. This mission is our a centesimal launch from right here. This can be a important milestone for our area programme,” stated ISRO Chairman Dr. V. Narayanan.

Dr. Narayanan who assumed cost of the area company earlier this month added that over these 100 launches ISRO has lifted 548 satellites to orbit

“We now have lifted a complete of 120 tonnes of payload together with 23 tonnes for 433 international satellites,” Dr. Narayanan added.

The NVS-02 is the second satellite tv for pc within the NVS collection, and a part of India’s Navigation with Indian Constellation (NavIC).

In response to ISRO, NavIC is India’s impartial regional navigation satellite tv for pc system designed to supply correct Place, Velocity, and Timing (PVT) service to customers in India and the area extending about 1,500 km past the Indian landmass, which is its main service space.

NavIC supplies two forms of providers: Customary Positioning Service (SPS) and Restricted Service (RS). NavIC SPS supplies a place accuracy of higher than 20 metres (2σ) and timing accuracy of higher than 40 nanoseconds (2σ) over the first service space.

5 second-generation NavIC satellites, NVS-01/02/03/04/05, are envisaged to enhance the NavIC base layer constellation with enhanced options to make sure continuity of providers. The NVS collection of satellites incorporate L1 band indicators to widen the providers.

NVS-01, the primary of the second-generation satellites, was launched on board GSLV-F12 on Could 29, 2023. For the primary time, an indigenous atomic clock was flown in NVS-01.

NVS-02, the second satellite tv for pc within the NVS collection, is configured with navigation payload in L1, L5 and S bands along with ranging payload in C-band like its predecessor-NVS-01. Will probably be positioned at 111.75ºE, changing IRNSS-1E. NVS-02 makes use of a mix of indigenous and procured atomic clocks for exact time estimation.

“The NavIC system is evolving because the spine of indigenous satellite tv for pc navigation ecosystem of the Indian area. The primary batch of Indian Regional Navigation Satellite tv for pc System (IRNSS) satellites launched within the earlier many years has been profitable in establishing the Private Navigation Gadget (PND) providers within the nation, the NVS collection is the second era of those satellites which might be progressively being deployed by the GSLV to enhance NavIC constellation and additional strengthening the PND ecosystem within the nation,” Dr. Narayanan stated.

On the second indigenous atomic clock he stated that this can be a shining instance of Make in India in crucial know-how improvement.

“In the present day many purposes primarily based on NavIC spanning from strategic makes use of, monitoring of transport vessels, time synchronization, practice monitoring and security of alert life dissemination are completed,” he added.
