Each satellite tv for pc had three atomic clocks.
The rocket will ship the satellite tv for pc right into a Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit (GTO) from the place it is going to be additional taken up by firing the onboard motors.
India will ship up its first second-generation navigation satellite tv for pc on May 29 morning, utilizing its Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV) rocket, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) mentioned on Monday.
For the primary time, an indigenous atomic clock will likely be flown within the navigation satellite tv for pc NVS-01.
According to the Indian house company, the rocket GSLV-F12 carrying 2,232 kg NVS-01 navigation satellite tv for pc is scheduled to elevate off at 10.42 a.m. from the second launch pad in Sriharikota rocket port in Andhra Pradesh.
The rocket will ship the satellite tv for pc right into a Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit (GTO) from the place it is going to be additional taken up by firing the onboard motors.
The ISRO mentioned NVS-01 is the primary of the second-generation satellites envisaged for the Navigation with Indian Constellation (NavIC) providers.
NVS sequence of satellites will maintain and increase the NavIC with enhanced options.
This sequence incorporates L1 band indicators moreover to widen the providers.
The Indian house company had used imported atomic clocks on all of the 9 navigation satellites it had launched earlier.
Each satellite tv for pc had three atomic clocks.
It was mentioned the NavIC satellites have been performing effectively until the three clocks in IRNSS-1A — the primary satellite tv for pc — failed.
Sources within the ISRO had earlier informed IANS a few of the atomic clocks weren’t functioning correctly. The clocks are used for exact time and site.
Simply put, the NavIC or previously Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS) is much like the GPS (Global Positioning System) of the US, Glonass of Russia and Galileo of Europe in addition to China’s Beidou.
