Indian space agency ISRO today successfully launched a navigation satellite, NVS-01, on board an expendable rocket, GSLV-F12, from Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh. Nearly 20 minutes after the flight, the rocket deployed the satellite in a geosynchronous transfer orbit (GTO) at an altitude of about 251 km, ISRO said. GSLV-F12 is India's larger rocket, which is crucial for future space missions.
"We now have the ability to launch even bigger payloads," ISRO said.
