PM Modi Hails ISRO After Successful GSLV-F18 Launch

India’s space programme has achieved another milestone as ISRO successfully launched its GSLV-F18 rocket carrying the advanced NVS-03 navigation satellite.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulated ISRO scientists and engineers on the successful mission, calling it an important step towards strengthening India’s homegrown navigation system, NavIC.

The rocket lifted off from Sriharikota on October 30, successfully placing the satellite into its intended orbit.

NVS-03 is designed to improve India’s satellite navigation capabilities, supporting services such as positioning, tracking and navigation. The mission also highlights India’s growing strength in developing critical space technologies independently.

With this achievement, ISRO has taken another important step towards making India’s navigation infrastructure stronger and more self-reliant.
