Sriharikota: The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) today launched India's fifth navigation satellite IRNSS-1E. ISRO's proven workhorse PSLV-C31 is set to put the satellite in the sub-geosynchronous orbit in its 33rd flight from the nation's spaceport at Sriharikota. The Indian Regional Navigation Satellite system, IRNSS, consists of seven satellites to provide real-time data on the position of objects to aid road, air and maritime traffic apart from providing mapping and tracking services.
The satellite IRNSS-1E will join the four of its peers that are already operational in space. Weighing 1425 kilogram during lift off, the satellite has the mission life of 12 years equipped with navigation payload and ranging devices. ISRO has announced that the remaining two satellites in the series will be put in place before March this year.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulated ISRO and its scientists, on the successful launch of PSLV-C31 and the IRNSS 1E satellite, via a tweet.
Spoke to the scientists at @isro & congratulated them on their accomplishment today. Our scientists keep making us proud.
