Description
Summary:NavIC (Navigation with Indian Constellation) is a regional satellite navigation system called Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS). The NavIC is presently composed of seven operational satellite configuration geometry. We present indigenously designed and developed RAFS for NavIC, named IRAFS—Indian Rubidium Atomic Frequency Standard. The IRAFS Physics Package (PP) and electronics have novel design features, as explained in this article. We present the IRAFS performances tested in thermo-vacuum conditions demonstrating
