Why this matters

ISRO, India's national space agency, plays a critical role in the country's technological advancement and strategic capabilities, including satellite navigation. The NVS-02 mission, likely a navigation satellite, is part of India's efforts to build a robust independent satellite navigation system. Identifying the precise cause of such mission failures, like a broken electrical circuit, is vital for improving future mission reliability, preventing recurrences, and maintaining the integrity and progress of India's space program.
