ISRO’s tension increased, India’s own GPS heart weakened, satellite’s atomic clock failed in space, will your location be affected?

News India Live, Digital Desk: India’s indigenous navigation system NavIC A big and worrying news has come out regarding this. There has been a technical fault in a satellite of India’s own ‘GPS’ network revolving in space. According to the information, this satellite ‘Atomic Clock’ Has stopped working. This clock is the most important part of the navigation system, which is responsible for telling the exact time and location.

What is the work of ‘Atomic Clock’? Atomic clock is the ‘heart’ of any navigation satellite. It also calculates nano-seconds accurately. When you use maps on your phone, the satellite sends signals through this watch to reveal your exact location. If this clock gets damaged, the data received from the satellite may be incorrect or may stop completely.

Will India’s navigation system come to a standstill? After this news, the question in the minds of common people is whether the location service in their phones will be stopped? ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) Sources say that there is no need to panic. NavIC has a constellation of backup satellites. Failure of one clock does not mean that the entire system comes to a standstill, although it is definitely a big technical challenge for ISRO.

ISRO’s next step: preparation for replacement This is not the first time that a satellite’s clock has malfunctioned. Even before this, such a problem was seen with some satellites. ISRO is now replacing the damaged satellite with a new generation one. NVS-01 Can speed up the process of launching the series satellites. A team of space scientists is continuously analyzing this malfunction so that such errors can be avoided in future missions.
