It does have an encrypted version for restricted/authorized users. Which could mean the military and
certain national services.

Should be better than the civilian channel.

IRNSS is an independent regional navigation satellite system being developed by India. It is designed to provide accurate position information service to users in India as well as the region extending up to 1500 km from its boundary, which is its primary service area. IRNSS will provide two types of services, namely, Standard Positioning Service (SPS) and Restricted Service (RS) and is expected to provide a position accuracy of better than 20 m in the primary service area.

GSLV Mark III ready for mission
India took the first step on Friday towards the liftoff of the experimental mission of its gigantic Geo-synchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle-Mark III when the rocket’s core stage, weighing more than 110 tonnes, was flagged off from the Liquid Propulsion Systems Centre, Mahendragiri, near Nagercoil, Tamil Nadu, to Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh. The significance of the mission is that it will be a forerunner to India sending its astronauts to space. For, the GSLV-Mk III in this flight will carry a crew capsule without astronauts. The capsule will return to earth with the help of parachutes. The mission will take place in June or first week of July.
The Indian Space Research Organisation calls its mission to send Indian astronauts to space the Human Space Flight (HSF) programme.
K. Radhakrishnan, Chairman, ISRO, said the crew capsule will weigh 3.5 tonnes. It will carry no astronauts, he stressed. It was a replica of the crew module that would be put into orbit in a real mission. “The module is undergoing structural engineering tests” at the Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre, Dr. Radhakrishnan said.
M.C. Dathan, Director, LPSC, emphasised that it will be an experimental mission. The rocket will do a sub-orbital flight, that is, reach an altitude of less than 100 km. Its upper cryogenic stage will not fire. It is “a passive flight,” Mr. Dathan said. Instead of cryogenic propellants, the cryogenic stage would carry liquid nitrogen, which would be inert.
GSLV-Mk III is the “muscular sibling” of GSLV-Mk II which has an indigenous cryogenic engine. GSLV-Mk III can put a communication satellite weighing four tonnes into geo-synchronous transfer orbit or a 10-tonne satellite into low-earth orbit.
Mr. Dathan said GSLV-Mk III’s core stage was flagged off from Mahendragiri on Friday. It would reach Sriharikota on Sunday evening. It will be married up with the other stages there.
“The assembling of one booster stage, weighing more than 200 tonnes, has already been completed at Sriharikota. The assembly of another booster stage is under way.”

ISRO to NASA delegation to the Chat seal projects
A high-level delegation led by icts of ISRO chairman K Radhakrishnan Will visit the U.S. Between April 12 and 24 to seal the Chat satellite projects with NASA. This Was Announced by Radhakrishnan falling on a 15-minute interaction with RA Mashelkar, Chairman of Marico Innovation Foundation on Tuesday night at the Jamshed Bhabha Auditorium in Nariman Point, Mumbai.
Earlier Radhakrishnan HAD beens presented with the Marico Innovation Foundation award. TOI That He Told Those Accompanying him to the U.S. Will Be director of ISRO’s Ahmedabad-based Space Application Centre Kiran Kumar and director of the ISRO Satellite Centre in Bangalore SK Shiva Kumar.
He Said the group Will Make presentations at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and the California Institute of Technology at Pasadena in California and Washington. The focus of Their talks Will Be the seal Isro-Nasa satellite project, Which Will study water and drought and “possible future communication activities. “ Radhakrishnan Said the Satellite Will Be Launched by ISRO’s Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle.
Nasa is already Providing communication back up for the March Orbiter Mission through icts Deep Space Network facilities at Goldstone in California, Madrid and Canberra. It Gave this carrier odd falling on the U.S. government shutdown in November 2013 HAD All which affected other NASA centers.
