Towards self reliance

GNSS User Meet 2015

Held on October 8 in Bangalore

Organised by Indian Space Research Organisation and Airports Authority of India

Assumes signifi cance and relevance

In the background of availability of services of GAGAN

And commissioning of fi rst four of seven satellites of IRNSS.

Presentations on various applications

Like aviation, transport, LBS, weather, geology, etc

Using GAGAN and IRNSS signals

Were encouraging and promising.

However, to achieve a critical mass

To optimize the potential of GAGAN and IRNSS

Would need many more such meetings

Highlighting many more success stories.
