IRNSS 1G to be launched aboard PSLV C33.

[Ankit Kumar 002]

Friends the launch of IRNSS 1G , the 7th and last of the IRNSS series will complete India's own GPS system.

It will be launched by PSLV C33 in XL configuration.

It will be placed into a into a Sub-Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit (Sub-GTO). The launch will take place from the First Launch Pad (FLP) of Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC) SHAR, Sriharikota.
Launch is scheduled at 12:58 Hrs (IST) on 28 April 2016.

PS: Be ready for these following articles today.
1. So here goes the British aid.
2. Misplaced priorities
3. Poor India gets its own GPS , etc etc

But this won't be last as IRSO plans to keep launching for redundancy and replacements.



ISRO works on 4 back-up satellites for IRNSS
IRNSS will provide services like terrestrial, aerial and marine navigation, help in vehicle tracking and fleet management, disaster management and navigational aid for hikers and travellers among others.

IRNSS will provide services like terrestrial, aerial and marine navigation, help in vehicle tracking and fleet management, disaster management and navigational aid for hikers and travellers among others.
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) that is developing the Indian Regional Navigational Satellite System — the country’s own version of the GPS system having a constellation of seven satellites — will also be building four more satellites that will act as a backup to this constellation. These backup satellites are being built at Space Applications Centre (SAC) at Ahmedabad.

“We are building four more satellites that will act as a back up to the seven satellites of the IRNSS. Each individual satellite of this system can easily last for 7-15 years, but we are not taking any chances and building a back-up,” said Tapan Misra, director of SAC, while talking to The Indian Express.

IRNSS is India’s own regional navigation satellite system that will provide accurate real-time positioning and timing services over India and a region extending 1,500-kilometres around India. This system is expected to replace GPS of the US.

The IRNSS system that is expected to be fully deployed by July 2016 will consist of three satellites in the GEO (Geostationary) orbit and four satellites in the GSO (Geosynchronous) orbit, approximately 36,000-kilometres altitude above the earth’s surface.

The first four satellites developed by SAC – IRNSS-1A, 1B, 1C and ID – have already been launched and are in orbit while IRNSS- 1E, 1F have been dispatched for being integrated with spacecraft. “The IRNSS-1E is expected to be launched later this month, while we are currently working towards integrating the seventh satellite of this system at SAC,” Misra added.

Will these 4 will be launched and kept as reserves in space or on land ?

They will be on land, thats where their condition can be controlled and will not deteriorate.

They will be launched as replacements are needed.

‪#‎India‬ successfully put into orbit its 7th and final navigation satellite called IRNSS-1G with its own rocket.

 

[Stephen Cohen]

Mission ACCOMPLISHED

 

[Nilgiri]

Successful launch and insertion!

Modiji addressing the ISRO scientists!

I feel somewhere Kalam saab is watching and smiling at what has happened today.

 

[Stephen Cohen]

India's own GPS system has completed the launch of ALL SEVEN satellites

 

[bloo]

We have our own navigational system.

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL INDIANS.

THE REGIONAL NAVIGATIONAL SYSTEM WILL BE KNOWN AS "NAVIC".

[jaiind]

The best thing of make in india is its own GPS !!

Will this also be used for dual use purposes? Defence purposes too?

Yes.

You will not want an unreliable GPS during a war for our men.
