There is a lot of enthusiasm among the people due to the successful launch of the satellite. This Next Generation Navigation Satellite was released from Launch Pad-2 via SLV-F12 rocket.
The NVS-01 satellite will be deployed 36,568 km above Earth’s Geosynchronous Orbit. This satellite will revolve around the Earth in an elliptical orbit. In about 18 minutes of launch, the GSLV rocket will leave this satellite about 251.52 kilometers above the earth. After this, this satellite will decide its own journey till its orbit. The satellite will reach its designated orbit thanks to its thrusters.
Atomic clock installed in the satellite will tell the exact location
In this navigation satellite, ISRO has used rubidium atomic clock manufactured in its own country. This atomic clock has been made by the Space Application Center in Ahmedabad. This atomic clock helps in telling the best and accurate location, position and timing.
