Question 5 of 5
5. Question
With reference to ‘Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS)’, consider the following statements
- The constellation consists of seven satellites located in geostationary orbit (GEO) and provides Standard Positioning Service and a Precision Service
- Unlike GPS which is dependent only on L-band, NavIC has dual frequencies (S and L bands)
Select the correct statement(s)
Correct
Solution(b)
Statement Analysis:
Statement 1 Statement 2 Incorrect Correct The constellation consists of 7 active satellites. Three of the seven satellites in constellation are located in geostationary orbit (GEO) and four are in inclined geosynchronous orbit (IGSO). NavIC signals will consist of a Standard Positioning Service and a Precision Service. Both will be carried on L5 (1176.45 MHz) and S band (2492.028 MHz). unlike GPS, which is dependent only on L-band, NavIC has dual frequencies (S and L bands). When a low-frequency signal travels through atmosphere, its velocity changes due to atmospheric disturbances. The US banks on an atmospheric model to assess frequency error, and it has to update this model from time to time to assess the exact error. In India’s case, the actual delay is assessed by measuring the difference in delay of the two frequencies (S and L bands) Context – To promote the use of ‘NAVigation with the Indian Constellation’ (NavIC), the Indian version of GPS, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) will introduce the L1 frequency in all its future satellites, for civilian navigational use.
