@Indx TechStyle @Vamsi @Haldilal @AkulaAlso 5 no of geo navigation satellites approved for geo constellation. And 7 more Irnss to be launched to extend range of navic which is 1500 km now and proposed to be 3000 in future
Isro, whose NavIC system is yet to penetrate the commercial market or find extensive deployment otherwise, is in the process of strengthening the programme with new generation satellites.
Elaborating on the sidelines of the event, he said: "Of the seven NavIC satellites, some have failed, we need to replace a few and work on this is happening. However, we've also realised that to make it more effective, we need to have satellites in the L1 band and in a different orbit. We'll also need to look at security of signals."
The present constellation of NavIC satellites operate in the L-5 and S bands and are placed on a geostationary orbit (GEO).
"...We'll need satellites in the L-1 band for the transition from a regional satellite to a global one. For the same reason we also need NavIC satellites in a MEO (medium Earth orbit), which will happen. We have five satellites under production," Somanath added.
Key word is it's industry that want delay adoption of NAVIC post elections in hope of...... Isro and govt is ready for adoption
Nothing but they mentioned extending range of navic by launching 5 new sats after launching 3 replacement satellitesAnything on GINS and total number of satellites in it?
GINS mentioned an aim of a constellation of 24 satellites for global navigation. That's less than US and China's 32 satellites and equal to Russia's 24 satellites.Nothing but they mentioned extending range of navic by launching 5 new sats after launching 3 replacement satellites
