      The $7 billion investment from India’s Department of Space includes a mission to send an exclusive satellite to Moon and Mars to deploy hundreds of transponders and keep a constant watch on India for the next five years.

      ISRO also plans to launch its own version of the Global Positioning System through a seven-satellite constellation to form the Indian Regional Navigational Satellite System.

      Also in the works is a special Geo-Imaging satellite that aims to assist state authorities against natural disasters, floods, forest fires, and monitor India’s borders. The satellite will be stationed at a 36,000-kilometer orbit in order to maintain round-the-clock watch of the country.
