"GEMINI device":
@ The Union Minister of Earth Sciences has recently launched the Gagan Enabled Mariner’s Instrument for Navigation and Information (GEMINI) device.
@ The device is developed for effective dissemination of emergency information and communication .
@ communication gap severely felt during the Ockhi cyclone in 2017.
@ “Ocean State Forecasts include the forecasts on winds, waves, ocean currents, water temperature, etc. at every 6 hrs on daily basis for next 5 days.
@ To overcome this difficulty, Indian National Centre for Ocean Information Services (INCOIS) in collaboration with the Airports Authority of India (AAI) utilized the GAGAN (GPS Aided Geo Augmented Navigation) satellite while developing the GEMINI device.
@ GEMINI is a portable receiver that is linked to ISRO-satellites, receives and transfers the data received from GAGAN satellite/s to a mobile through Bluetooth communication.
@ A mobile application developed by INCOIS decodes and displays the information in nine regional languages.
