India's space agency, ISRO, has launched a new navigation satellite called NVS-03. Its rocket, named GSLV-F18, blasted off at 11.51 pm on Friday from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre, which is in Sriharikota, O Heraldo reports.[1]
The satellite is part of NavIC, India's own version of the GPS system that phones and maps use to work out where you are. The Hindu says the launch brings NavIC back to four working satellites, which is enough for it to run on its own.[2][4]
NVS-03 is the third satellite in ISRO's next-generation navigation series, the Hindustan Times reports. PM Modi congratulated the space scientists and said they make the nation proud.[3][1]
The Sunday Guardian explains that the GSLV rocket has a funny nickname, the 'Naughty Boy', and that NavIC also matters for India's strategic needs. You can read more about the mission through the links below.[5]
