ISRO’s NVS-02 Mission
Wednesday was a historic day for the Indian Space Research Center (ISRO). ISRO launched a century today. This morning, at 6:30 pm, ISRO launched its 100th mission from the Satish Dhawan Space Center in Sriharikota. The GSLV-F15 rocket was launched under this historical mission, which successfully installed the navigation satellite NVS-02 satellite in Geocyinkronous Transfer Orbit.
About 4 decades before today, ISRO scientists also saw the period when parts of the rocket were tied behind the bullock cart and bicycle and taken for the mission launch, but today ISRO has established itself in the world of space.
What is NVS-02 Mission,
- ISRO’s 100th flight was done with the help of GSLV-F15 rocket.
- It was the 17th flight of the GSLV series and was the 11th flight of the indigenous cryogenic phase.
- A special navigation satellite with this rocket has been launched, which will bring revolutionary changes in the indigenous GPS system for the common man.
- It is named NVS-02 satellite. It is part of the Indian Navigation System (NAVIC) which is a second generation satellite.
- Its purpose is to provide an exact position, velocity and time services up to 1500 km around India and around it.
What is its specialty?
- The NVS-02 satellite is technically state-of-the-art.
- It weighs 2,250 kg and can handle power up to 3 kW.
- This includes L1, L5 and S Band Payalode for navigation, which will further improve its services.
- In addition, this satellite supports the L1 frequency band, which will also increase its reliability.
NAVIC system will provide two types of services-
- First, standard positioning service (SPS) which will give better condition accuracy than 20 meters and better time than 40 nanoseconds.
- Second Restricted Services (RS) which will be available only to special users.
Travel of 100th mission in 46 years
The success of this mission is an important achievement for ISRO. On August 10, 1979, a big journey of 100 missions has come in 46 years after the Mission of Setalite Launch Vehicle (SLV) before Sriharikota. India’s navigation system will be further strengthened with GSLV-F15 and NVS-02 satellites.
