IRNSS, being developed by India is designed to provide accurate position information service to users in the country as well as the region extending up to 1,500 km from its boundary, which is its primary service area.

The system is expected to provide a position accuracy of better than 20 metre in the primary service area. IRNSS is similar to US' Global Positioning System (GPS), Russia's Glonass and Europe's Galileo. China and Japan too have similar systems named Beidou and Japanese Quasi Zenith Satellite System respectively, ISRO officials added.

ISRO had launched IRNSS 1-A, the first in the series, on July 1 last year onboard its workhorse Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) C-22. ISRO officials further said that two more satellites for IRNSS would be launched before the end of this year and with four satellites in their positions, the IRNSS could start functioning. The remaining three would alone increase the system's efficiency.

Note: Live streaming begins at 4:40 pm( IST )
