ISRO’s successful GSLV-F18 mission could help restore the capabilities of NavIC, India’s independent navigation system, according to the input.
The mission is being seen as an important step for India’s space programme, especially as NavIC plays a key role in providing navigation services within the country and the surrounding region.
However, experts say that if India wants to meet its long-term space ambitions, it will still need bigger reforms, more funding and greater manufacturing capacity.
