(DECEMBER-2023)

NavIC, or the Navigation with Indian Constellation, is a magnificent gem in the crown of India’s technological prowess.
With celestial grace and precision, NavIC illuminates our skies and will soon guide travellers and explorers with unwavering accuracy.

NavIC is a satellite-based navigational system, developed by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), which enables users to determine their precise geographic location and track their movements anywhere in India and 1500 km beyond India’s territorial boundary.
It comprises a constellation of seven satellites orbiting high above, weaving a celestial tapestry of signals that empower navigation, positioning, and timing across the vast Indian subcontinent.
