What is the replacement for NAVIC???
They are supposed to launch another irnss satellite( NVS-02) soon, not long ago, they said before end of the year. But no further notice. I do remember people saying that 4 such satellites are good enough to make the system work, though of course it won't be as extensive as with 7 or 8 functioning satellites.

With PROBA-3 scheduled for launch in same month, there is very high likelihood of postponement of SPADEX to early 2025.
SPADEX might slip to January, but I don't think TDS will happen in dec, it will also be slipped to 2nd quarter of 2025

Darn, they were emphatic about a Spadex launch by Dec 15th. Let's see, maybe by year end!
 

US startup Axiom Space explores using Indian rockets for space mission​


NEW DELHI, Nov 5 (Reuters) - U.S.-based startup Axiom Space is exploring using Indian launch vehicles to support its international space station mission, a senior executive said on Tuesday.

Axiom Space is one of the few companies constructing a private space station, intended to eventually replace the International Space Station (ISS), which the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) expects to retire around 2030.

Pearly Pandya, director of Axiom's international government business, said that while contracts had not been signed yet, the startup was in talks with India's space agency, ISRO, and India's private launch companies to explore the best fit for its missions and to diversify its supply chain.

"It could be to transport raw materials as we develop our space station," Pandya said, speaking at an industry event.
