Explanation: Navigation with Indian Constellation (NavIC) Technology

An autonomous regional satellite navigation system, also known as the Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS), is developed by ISRO.
It has been designed to provide accurate position information service to users in India as well as the region extending up to 1500 km from its boundary.

It will provide two types of services:

Standard Positioning Service (SPS): provided to all the users.
Restricted Service (RS): It is an encrypted service provided only to authorised users.
The IRNSS System is expected to provide a position accuracy of better than 20 m in the primary service area.
Presently, it consists of 7 active satellites located at a distance of approximately 36,000 Km.
3 satellites are in Geostationary Orbit (GEO).
4 satellites are in inclined Geosynchronous Orbit (GSO).
