On Thursday Prime minister Narendra Modi congratulates its scientists and the citizens of India for the successful launch of IRNSS-1G, the seventh and last in the constellation of satellites that make up the system.
Named the Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS), it consists of a constellation of seven satellites of which are IRNSS-1A, IRNSS-1B, IRNSS-1D,IRNSS-1E and IRNSS-1F which already placed into orbit.
The mission was completed on Thursday, its landmark mission for a regional navigational system on par with US-based GPS.
When the system becomes operational in about a month's time, the Indian Regional Navigation Satellite(IRNSS) would offer service like terrestrial and marine navigation, disaster management, vehicle tracking and fleet management, navigation aide for hikers and travelers, visual and voice navigation for drivers.
"With this successful launch, we will determine our own paths powered by our technology.""the world will know it as Navic....The new technology will benefit our people, our fishermen. This is a great gift to people from scientists," Modi said.
