ISRO is developing its own navigation system. This project, IRNSS, will enable the Indian space agency to implement own satellite-based navigation system.

The Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) today launched successfully with five satellites including three foreign satellites. This launched has proved the capabilities of Indian space scientists once again.

I am quite sure that the success of this mission will attract the young students towards the career in Space Science and other classical engineering streams.
