ISRO to launch NVS-03 navigation satellite on October 30

The satellite, carrying an indigenous atomic clock, will give India four working navigation satellites for train tracking, vehicle monitoring and shipping.

ISRO will launch the NVS-03 navigation satellite on a GSLV-F18 rocket at 11.51 pm on October 30, chairman V. Narayanan said.

It will be the 20th flight of the GSLV and ISRO's fifth mission this year, counting a private launch.

Once in orbit, India will have four operational navigation satellites, including one with an indigenous atomic clock.
