The Indian Space Research Organization is trying hard to find a fix for the glitch in its fourth navigation satellite. Earlier, the satellite launch, which was scheduled on March 9, was called off after the Space Agency experts found that one of the telemetry transmitters in the IRNSS-1D was not functioning properly.
For the first time in its history, ISRO is dismounting a satellite from its rocket due to a glitch in the satellite.

Scientists at the Indian Space Research Organization are trying their best to carry out the correction works with minimum effort so that they can reschedule the date of launch as early as possible.
Experts are still unclear about the method that can be used to rectify the issue, which makes it impossible to unveil the launching time.
As of now, India has launched three out of its constellation of seven navigation satellites. The launch of the three satellites was conducted without any hassles or delays in the past.
The successful launch of seven satellites is expected to provide GPS service to Government and Private users extending up to an area that exceeds 1500 kilometres.
The entire system of this navigational system comprises nine satellites, seven in orbit and two in the ground as stand by. However, ISRO is confident that four satellites will enable them to get the navigation system.
All the seven rockets in this space program is being developed with an estimated budget of 910 Crore INR.
