Upcoming Spaceflights
GSLV Mk II | IRNSS-1L (NVS-03)
Indian Space Research Organization | IndiaSatish Dhawan Space Centre, India
Status: To Be Determined
Mission:
This is a replacement satellite for the Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System. The constellation will provide India with an alternative to GPS and will be used for military and civilian use. Located at a geosynchronous orbit, the system will be operated by the Indian government.
