ISRO is preparing to launch a new navigation satellite known as NVS. A new navigation satellite will be launched from Sriharikota on May 29 to replace the aging satellite that has been in orbit for the last five years.
The NVS-01 satellite will take over the navigational functions of the IRNSS-1G satellite. Messaging and communication facilities will continue in this. The Geosynchronous Launch Vehicle or GSLV Mk-II will lift NVS-01 into orbit.
The launch is intended to keep seven satellite-based NavIC navigation systems operational. to serve the nation “Positioning, Navigation and Timing” To reduce the requirements and dependence on external infrastructure, ISRO launched the Navigation with Indian Constellation (NavIC) satellite system.
Two distinct services are provided by the NAVIC system to the nation: regular position service for civilian uses and limited services for defense and strategic targets.
Currently, the US Worldwide Positioning System, the Russian GLONASS, the European Galileo and the Chinese Beidou are the four main worldwide navigation systems. Japan’s Quasi-Zenith system and India’s NAVIC are the two regional navigation systems in use today.

The coverage area of the system extends up to 1,500 km from the borders of India.
The NAVIC system was introduced with a clear objective of eliminating dependence on international satellite systems such as the Global Positioning System (GPS) for navigation service requirements. “Strategic Zone”.
