IRNSS satellite

IRNSS

India just launched one of seven satellites as part of its IRNSS positioning system which is due to be completed in 2016.  While U.S. initiated GPS tracking satellites  cover India, the new system will provide more options to those within 1,500 miles of the mainland of India.  The system is designed to be accurate within 20 meters or less.
