India has launched its first domestic navigation satellite from the Satish Dhawan Space Center in the country's south.
印度在南部的薩迪什·達(dá)萬航天中心發(fā)射了首顆自制導(dǎo)航衛(wèi)星。
The satellite, weighing 1,500 kilos, was carried into space by the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle-XL on Monday night. Six more satellites are set to be sent into orbit over the next couple of years, to form the Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System. It's expected to be very similar to the United States's GPS system, providing location and information services to both civilians and the military.
該衛(wèi)星，重達(dá)1500千克，于周一晚間由極地運載火箭PSLV-X送入軌道。在未來幾年，印度還將按計劃發(fā)射6顆衛(wèi)星，以形成印度區(qū)域衛(wèi)星導(dǎo)航系統(tǒng)。該導(dǎo)航系統(tǒng)將有望與美國GPS系統(tǒng)一樣，提供民用與軍用兩種定位和信息服務(wù)。
The satellite, with a lifespan of around 10 years, would also help in disaster management measures. India already has a well-established space program and has long sought to avoid relying on foreign positioning systems.
該顆衛(wèi)星，壽命約為10年，將有助于災(zāi)害管理。印度方面已經(jīng)有了一個完善的太空計劃，并且長期以來一直在該領(lǐng)域探索以避免依賴于國外定位系統(tǒng)。。
