Setback for Isro's navigation mission as NVS-02 satellite thrusters fail to ignite

ISRO's NVS-02 satellite faced issues as its thrusters failed to activate, preventing it from reaching the desired orbit. Launched on January 29, the satellite is vital for India's navigation system, marking ISRO's 100th launch from Shriharikota.

India’s space agency, ISRO, has confirmed a critical technical issue with its NVS-02 navigation satellite, launched on 29 January aboard the GSLV-F15 rocket. A malfunctioning valve has prevented the satellite’s thrusters from firing, halting its orbit-raising manoeuvres. While the satellite remains operational and communication with ground control is intact, it has been unable to reach its designated orbit.
