- On January 25, 2025, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is set to mark its 100th launch by send off a 2,250-kg navigation satellite aboard the GSLV-F15 rocket from Sriharikota.
- The NVS-02 is the second of the five second-generation satellites developed by the space agency to replace the existing satellites in the country’s navigation constellation Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System.
- The new generation of satellites have a longer lifespan of 12 years and are also equipped with indigenously developed, more accurate atomic clocks. The new generation of satellites also utilise L1 frequency, which is most commonly used in the US Global Positioning System (GPS), and is likely to lead to more utilisation by smaller devices such as fitness trackers.
