The Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (INRSS)

Once China decided to operate their own Beidou GNSS system, India’s government approved the development of an independent GNSS system in 2006, with a commitment to operate a regional Asian system, not a global system. The program was developed by ISRO, the Indian Space Research Organization. INRSS will consist of a 7-satellite constellation, with 3 GEO and 4 highly elliptical orbit (HEO) satellites. The INRSS satellites will have rubidium atomic clocks (Fig. 3.30).
