India launches fifth regional navigation satellite IRNSS-1E from Sriharikota ..

[Sai Jai]

Sriharikota (Andhra Pradesh): India on
Wednesday launched its fifth regional
navigation satellite from its spaceport
in Sriharikota.
The 320-tonne 44-metre rocket
(PSLV-C31) has lift-off from the
second launch pad at the Satish
Dhawan space centre at 9:31 AM and
deploy the 1,425 kg fifth navigation
satellite into as sub-geosynchronous
orbit 19 minutes and 20 seconds later
at an altitude of 503 kms from above
the earth.
"Besides checking all launch systems
and the satellite onboard, the rocket's
tanks are being filled with liquid fuel in
all its four stages," Indian Space
Research Organisation's (ISRO)
satellite director M Annadurai said.
As part of the Indian Regional
Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS),
comprising seven spacecraft, the fifth
satellite (IRNSS-1E) will also aid
terrestrial, air and maritime transport,

ISRO launches India’s fifth navigation satellite IRNSS-1E

The Indian Space Research Organisation’s (ISRO) Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle, PSLV-C31, successfully launched the 1425 kg IRNSS-1E, the fifth satellite in the Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS) on the morning of 20 January, 2016 from Satish Dhawan Space Centre SHAR, Sriharikota.
 
This is the 32nd consecutively successful mission of PSLV and the 11th in its 'XL' configuration.
 
After the PSLV-C31 lift-off at 0931 hrs (9:31 am) IST from the Second Launch Pad with the ignition of the first stage, the subsequent important flight events, namely, strap-on ignitions and separations, first stage separation, second stage ignition, heat-shield separation, second stage separation, third stage ignition and separation, fourth stage ignition and satellite injection, took place as planned. After a flight of about 18 minutes 43 seconds, IRNSS-1E Satellite was injected to an elliptical orbit of 282.4 km X 20,655.3 km inclined at an angle of 19.21 degree to the equator (very close to the intended orbit) and successfully separated from the PSLV fourth stage.
 
After injection, the solar panels of IRNSS-1E were deployed automatically. ISRO's Master Control Facility (at Hassan, Karnataka) took over the control of the satellite. In the coming days, four orbit manoeuvres will be conducted from Master Control Facility to position the satellite in the Geosynchronous Orbit at 111.75 deg East longitude with 28.1 deg inclination.
 
IRNSS-1E is the fifth of the seven satellites constituting the space segment of the Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System. IRNSS-1A, 1B, 1C and ID, the first four satellites of the constellation, were successfully launched by PSLV on 2 July, 2013, 4 April, 2014, 16 October, 2014 and 28 March, 2015 respectively. All the four satellites are functioning satisfactorily from their designated orbital positions.
 
IRNSS is an independent regional navigation satellite system designed to provide position information in the Indian region and 1500 km around the Indian mainland. IRNSS would provide two types of services, namely, Standard Positioning Services (SPS) - provided to all users - and Restricted Services (RS), provided to authorised users.
 
A number of ground stations responsible for the generation and transmission of navigation parameters, satellite ranging and monitoring, etc., have been established in eighteen locations across the country. In the coming months, the remaining two satellites of this constellation, namely, IRNSS-1F and IG, are scheduled to be launched by PSLV, thereby completing the entire IRNSS constellation.
