ISRO took to Twitter to announce the successful insertion of the satellite into a Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit after a 19-minute flight. The NVS-01 satellite is now set to undergo orbit-raising procedures to position it in the desired Geosynchronous orbit, as stated by ISRO.

The launch of NVS-01 signifies a remarkable achievement for ISRO’s navigation satellite program, known as NavIC (Navigation with Indian Constellation).
