India’s own developed rubidium atomic clock installed in Navik satellite.. An atomic clock was built at the Space Application Center in Ahmedabad. Many satellites currently in use stop sending data when the atomic clock stops working. Can’t even provide accurate tracking.. Second generation NAVIK satellites can transmit L1 signals. This will help satellite based navigation systems to work better.. Indigenously developed regional navigation systems will be better utilized in low power, signal frequency chip implanted devices, personal trackers.
