Indian Space Research Organisation will launch the GSLV-F12/NVS-01 mission on Monday, May 29, 2023, at 10:42 hours IST from the second launch pad at SDSC-SHAR, Sriharikota.

A series of NVS satellites will sustain and augment NavIC with enhanced features. ISRO also mentioned that it will be for the first time an indigenous atomic clock will be flown in NVS-01.
