The Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS), with an operational name of NavIC (acronym for Navigation with Indian Constellation; also, nāvik 'sailor' or 'navigator' in Indian languages), is an autonomous regional satellite navigation system that provides accurate real-time positioning and timing services. It covers India and a region extending 1,500 km (930 mi) around it, with GPS is a system of 30+ navigation satellites circling Earth. We know where they are because they constantly send out signals. A GPS receiver in your phone listens for these signals. Once the receiver calculates its distance from four or more GPS satellites, it can figure out where you are. Earth is surrounded by navigation satellites. distance = time x speed. The speed is the speed of light, since radio-waves and light are both forms of electromagnetic radiation. Therefore, if a GPS signal takes 0.1 seconds to reach us and, because the speed of light is 299,792.458 kilometres per second, its distance is: 0.1 sec x 299 792.458 km/sec = 29 979.2458 km. The next innovation in space navigation—the experimental NTS-3 satellite—is slated to head into orbit a year later than planned.
