Launch of new satellite

We have crossed another milestone in the history of  space missions in India.We are in the era of space application of technology for the benefit of all citizens of India through the Global Positioning System . Today India has launched a new satellite IRNSS-1A successfully into space from Sriharikota. It is 23rd successful flight of PSLV which had sent the satellite into orbit. It has several advantageous features. It has the best navigational tracking, and now India has its own GPS. It will help us in audio-visual navigation--terrestrial navigation, marine navigation and aerial navigation. Vehicle tracking is very useful feature which this satellite will provide for us. Space based applications have created several possibilities. IRNSS is first in series of new kind of navigational satellites. Soon advanced communication satellites will be launched. Confidence in ourselves is renewed when our scientists make us proud. We have been able to achieve all this because we are the best.
