AFTER THE HISTORIC space docking experiment, the Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) is getting ready for another milestone, its 100th launch, that is set to happen at the end of the month. This would be the first mission to be launched under the leadership of new Isro chairman V Narayanan, who took charge earlier this month.
"It would launch the NVS-02 satellite, which is second of the second-generation navigation satellites being deployed for India's NavIC constellation," Narayanan said in an interview.
NavIC, or Navigation with Indian Constellation, is the operational name for the Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System, IRNSS, which is a constellation of seven satellites providing positioning, navigation and timing services over the Indian region and its immediate neighbourhood. The satellites are deployed in the geosynchronous orbits.
