What is IRNSS? What are its uses?
IRNSS will have
a) 7 satellites
b) Ground segment
On the date this article is written, India is working on the launch of the satellites to complete the seven. By 2015 we would have send 7 satellites to create our positioning system.
• Vehicle tracking and fleet management
• Integration with mobile phones
• Accurate Timing
• Mapping and Geodetic data capture
• Terrestrial navigation aid for hikers and travellers
• Visual and voice navigation for drivers
IRNSS stands for Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS).
It is regional satellite navigation system being developed by India. India will complete it by 2015. It is the Indian version of GPS.
