India Launches, Successfully Puts Its First 2^nd Gen Navigation Satellite Into Orbit

In yet another feat, India has successfully put into orbit the first of its 2^nd generation navigation satellite, NVS-01. After a flight of about 19 minutes, the NVS-O1 satellite was injected into a Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit.
The three-staged GSLV rocket standing 51.7 m tall and weighing 420 tonnes lifted off from a launch pad at Sriharikota at around 10.42 am.
The 2,232 kg NVS-01 satellite, which is a part of Indian satellite navigation system NavIC or originally called Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System, was carried by Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle. NavIC is an Indian ‘GPS’ – Global Positioning System.
The Indian satellite navigation system NavIC consists of nine satellites – seven in orbit and two as substitutes. The NVS series of satellites will sustain and augment the NavIC with enhanced features.

Multinational WMD-Interception Naval Drill

A Japanese warship was set to arrive in South Korea on Monday to participate in a multinational naval drill this week aimed at preventing the trafficking of weapons of mass destruction (WMD), according to officials.
Japan’s JS Hamagiri destroyer is scheduled to arrive in the southeastern port city of Busan later in the day to participate in the Eastern Endeavor 23 exercise Wednesday in the international waters southeast of South Korea’s Jeju Island.
South Korea, the U.S., Australia, Japan, Canada and Singapore will join the exercise led by the South Korean Navy’s Maritime Task Flotilla Seven. The exercise will be held a day after a high-level forum of the Proliferation Security Initiative.

North Korea Says It Will Launch Its First Military Spy Satellite

North Korea said it would launch its first military spy satellite in June and described space-based reconnaissance as crucial for monitoring the United States’ “reckless” military exercises with rival South Korea.
The statement came a day after North Korea notified Japan’s coast guard that it plans to launch a satellite sometime between May 31 and June 11 and that the event may affect waters in the Yellow Sea, East China Sea and east of the Philippines’ Luzon Island.
Last week, the South Korean and U.S. militaries conducted large-scale live-fire drills near the border with North Korea as the first of five rounds of exercises marking 70 years since the establishment of their alliance.

The Association of Southeast Asian Nations, or ASEAN, was established on 8 August 1967 in Bangkok, Thailand, with the signing of the ASEAN Declaration (Bangkok Declaration) by the Founding Fathers of ASEAN: Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore and Thailand.
