  NavIC finds itself limping, battered by failures of atomic clocks, propulsion glitches, and a tangled web of challenges back on Earth


The article from MSN discusses the challenges faced by India's regional navigation satellite system, NavIC (Navigation with Indian Constellation), in terms of project management and government funding. Despite NavIC's potential to provide an indigenous alternative to foreign navigation systems like GPS, the project has encountered significant hurdles. The primary issue highlighted is the government's reluctance to adequately fund and support innovation in this sector. This lack of financial backing has led to delays in satellite launches, incomplete ground infrastructure, and limited adoption by both public and private sectors. The article points out that while NavIC has shown promise in accuracy and reliability, the bureaucratic red tape and a cautious approach to investment in space technology have stymied its growth and integration into mainstream applications. Furthermore, there is a noted need for more aggressive marketing and international collaboration to enhance NavIC's global presence and utility.
