Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS). Government endorsed venture with Rs.1500 Crores. American Global positioning system has 24 circling satellites, a worldwide system of ground stations. Therefore GPS covers all aspects of the world. ISRO Navigation Centre at Byalalu, close to Bangalore will control this framework.



7 Satellites of IRNSS

3 Satellites

These three of the satellites will be set over the equator, in the geostationary circle.

They coordinate the Earth's revolution and in this way show up starting from the earliest stage stay at a settled position in the sky.

+4 Satellites

Will be in sets in two slanted geosynchronous circles.

From the beginning, satellites will seem to go in figures of "8" over the span of a day.

Each of the seven IRNSS satellites will be at a stature of around 36,000 km, taking an entire day to circle the Earth.

In future, it can add more satellites to expand scope encompassing India. furthermore, with God willing, one day 25-30 satellites to cover whole earth, much the same as American-GPS.

Benefits of IRNSS GPS System

IRNSS will offer 2 services:

• Standard Positioning Service: that will be accessible to anyone
• Restricted Service: Will be available only to the military and other government-authorized users.

Accuracy

American GPS: 15 meters
IRNSS: 20 meters.

Equipment

The standard GPS receiver (in your smart phones as well as tablets) will not work with IRNSS.
You’ll need a special receiver equipment to use navigation data from
