GSLV-F18/NVS-03 05 Mission is scheduled for launch on 30 Oct 2026 at 23:51 IST from Satish Dhawan Space Centre, SHAR, Sriharikota.
GSLV-F18 is the 20th flight of India’s Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV) and will place the NVS-03 satellite into a Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit (GTO). NVS-03 is the Third Satellite in second generation navigation satellite system envisaged. for providing continuity of navigation services for IRNSS series.

GSLV-F18/NVS-03 MISSION

A classified mission for the United States Space Force. It is possibly a batch of classified LEO satellites based on SpaceX’s Starshield satellite bus, based on locations of rocket stage drop zones being exact fits with previous Starlink Group 15 launches.

Tranche 1 Transport Layer F is one of six missions by the United States Space Force Space Development Agency (SDA) for the Proliferated Warfighter Space Architecture (PWSA) Tranche 1 Transport Layer constellation, which will provide assured, resilient, low-latency military data and connectivity worldwide to the full range of warfighter platforms from Low Earth Orbit satellites.

The constellation will be interconnected with Optical Inter-Satellite Links (OISLs) which have significantly increased performance over existing radio frequency crosslinks. It is expected to operate over Ka band, have stereo coverage and be dynamically networked for simpler hand-offs, greater bandwidth and fault tolerance.
