🚀 Strengthening India’s Navigation Capabilities, One Milestone at a Time! 🇮🇳
SIA-India extends its heartiest congratulations to @isro on the GSLV-F18 mission carrying NVS-03, the third satellite in India’s next-generation navigation satellite system.
🛰️ Equipped with an indigenous atomic clock and the addition of the L1 signal alongside the existing L5 and S signals, NVS-03 marks an important step towards enhancing NavIC’s capabilities.
The existing S-band signal supports NavIC’s regional navigation services, while the addition of L1 improves compatibility with widely used GNSS receivers and consumer devices, enabling wider adoption.
With navigation coverage across India and up to 1,500 km beyond its geopolitical boundary, this milestone reinforces India’s growing technological capabilities and commitment to building a robust, indigenous space ecosystem.
A proud moment for India. A stronger future with NavIC! 🌏✨

Strengthening Cyber Resilience Across India’s Space Ecosystem
The webinar “Securing the Space Ecosystem: Cybersecurity, AI & Robotics in Space Operations,” organised by the Indian Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In) in collaboration with SIA-India on 28 October 2026, successfully concluded with insightful presentations and valuable contributions from experts across cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, robotics and the space industry.
The discussions highlighted the growing importance of securing space infrastructure as satellite systems become increasingly connected, intelligent and autonomous.
Key takeaways from the webinar included:
🔹 Implementing the CERT-In–SIA-India Space Cybersecurity Framework: Understanding security controls, risk assessments, audit requirements, incident reporting and response, and translating guidelines into operational practices.
🔹 Securing the Entire Space Value Chain: Strengthening cybersecurity across space, ground, communication and user segments, including RF and non-RF communication links, ground infrastructure, onboard systems and end-user devices.
🔹 Addressing Emerging AI-Driven Threats: Examining risks associated with compromised AI agents, data poisoning, adversarial inputs, model integrity and manipulated autonomous decision-making.
🔹 Adopting Secure-by-Design Principles: Emphasising defence-in-depth, Zero Trust, secure software and AI model updates, supply-chain assurance, continuous monitoring and appropriate human oversight.
🔹 Building Mission-Level Resilience: Moving beyond protecting individual assets towards ensuring the integrity, continuity and safe operation of entire space missions, even under compromised or degraded conditions.
The speakers also highlighted opportunities to strengthen industry readiness, build cybersecurity capabilities among startups, and foster closer collaboration between government, industry and academia.
The insights and recommendations emerging from this dialogue will contribute to SIA-India’s forthcoming position paper on AI, Robotics and Cybersecurity in Space, helping identify practical priorities for technology assurance, industry implementation, standards and policy development.
