Moscow: India and Russia will jointly develop a new generation global positioning satellite for wider navigational application with commercial spin-off.
"Under the space co-operation agreements signed during President Vladimir Putin's India visit, both countries will jointly develop new generation Glonass-K satellite for the Glonass Global Positioning System, which will function parallelly with the American GPS," Indian ambassador Kanwal Sibal said.
Addressing an Internet press conference last evening, he said Russia intends to operationalise Glonass by 2010 by completing the cluster of 24 satellites. Under the Indo-Russian agreements some of the current Russian Glonass-M satellites would be launched from the Indian soil with the help of Indian launch vehicles. "The Glonass will provide commercial services to surface transport, shipping and airlines," he said addressing the Russian netizens.
