India, what we often call an amazing country, is indeed developing at an impressive pace in all respects. However, this has not changed India's mentality of wanting to compete with China at all times. Whether in the economic or military sphere, they like to compete with us. Today, not to be outdone, even in the field of astronautics, they want to stand up to us. Since the successful networking of the Beidou Navigation Satellite System, it has become a shining business card of China, attracting the attention of the world and bringing many partners to China. Seeing the great achievements of our country, India has made a high-profile claim that their domestic navigation system IRNSS will perfectly replace GPS and provide accurate navigation services for India's military and civilian fields. They want to prove their status as a great power by having their own satellite systems.
After all, no country should be overly dependent on other countries, which will only put itself in a passive position and even suffer threats from other countries. Previously, India signed a long-term cooperation agreement with Russia, but in order to have more autonomous decision-making capabilities, the IRNSS system came into being. The full name of this system is the Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System, which was independently developed by the Indian Space Research Institute and has been launching networking satellites since 2013. So far, 9 satellites have been successfully launched, but due to a series of factors, two of them are unusable, so India can only rely on the remaining 7 satellites to operate normally, facing many practical problems.
The positioning accuracy of the IRNSS system in India is within 10 meters, and the accuracy beyond the overseas is about 20 meters, which means that the navigation accuracy in India is not high!In contrast, China's Beidou navigation system uses 35 satellites, of which 5 are in geostationary orbit and 30 are in non-geostationary orbit, and the accuracy has reached 25 meters to 5 meters. At the same time, if India wants to achieve full coverage, its priority is to launch more satellites to ensure improved combat capability and achieve the goal of global precise positioning. At present, India does not have the ability to quickly replenish the network, and its scientific and technological level cannot meet the development needs, which will greatly reduce the importance of IRNSS in operations.
This road is destined to be a bumpy one!In closing, I would like to thank you all for your ** and support. Please don't forget to like and follow me, your support is my motivation to move forward. I will update the latest news regularly every day, so stay tuned!
