Today was a historic day for the Indian Space Research Center (ISRO). ISRO has hit a century of launches today. Today morning at exactly 6:23 am, ISRO launched its 100th mission from Satish Dhawan Space Center in Sriharikota. Under this historic mission, GSLV-F15 rocket was launched, which successfully placed the navigation satellite NVS-02 satellite in geosynchronous transfer orbit.

About 4 decades ago, ISRO scientists also saw the era when rocket parts were tied behind bullock carts and bicycles and taken for mission launch, but today ISRO has established itself in the world of space.

What is NVS-02 mission?

• ISRO’s 100th flight was carried out with the help of GSLV-F15 rocket.
• This was the 17th flight of the GSLV series and it was the 11th flight of the indigenous cryogenic stage.
• A special navigation satellite has been launched with this rocket, which will bring revolutionary changes in the indigenous GPS system for the common man.
• It has been named NVS-02 satellite. It is part of the Indian Navigation System (NAVIC) which is a second generation satellite.
• It aims to provide accurate position, velocity and time services up to a distance of 1500 kilometers in and around India.

What is its specialty?

• The NVS-02 satellite is technologically advanced.
• It weighs 2,250 kg and can handle up to 3 kW of power.
• It includes L1, L5 and S band payloads for navigation, which will further improve its services.
• Apart from this, this satellite supports the L1 frequency band, which will also increase its reliability.

The NAVIC system will provide two types of services-

First, Standard Positioning Service (SPS) which will give position accuracy better than 20 meters and time accuracy better than 40 nanoseconds.

The second is Restricted Service (RS) which will be available only to special users.

Journey of 100th mission in 46 years

The success of this mission is a significant achievement for ISRO. ISRO has come a long way in 46 years since the first Satellite Launch Vehicle (SLV) mission from Sriharikota on 10 August 1979. India’s navigation system will be further strengthened with GSLV-F15 and NVS-02 satellite.
