The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is getting ready to host a ground station for Russia’s GLONASS. The ground station will help the Russian navigation system become more efficient, reports the Times of India.
The ground station will be built in Bengaluru, a city that is already home to the ISRO Telemetry, Tracking and Command Network (Istrac). Istrac will host the Russian ground station as well.
A memorandum of understanding was signed between the two nations in October 2016. In return, Roscosmos will host ground-measurement gathering stations in Russia for India’s NavIC, which will boost the operations of the IRNSS satellites.
