The Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) today said that it is postponing the launch of
the PSLV-C26 which was set to launch the Indian Regional Navigational Satellite System
(IRNSS)-1C by one week.
Isro Chairman K Radhakrishnan said, “This is because of an observation on the performance
of telecommand system seen during the launch rehearsal this morning.”
Originally, PSLV-C26 was supposed to lift off from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre at Sriharikota, around 100 kms, on October 10 at
1.56 am.
The IRNSS-1C, the third navigation satellite, would be launched into a sub-geosynchronous transfer orbit (sub-GTO) with a 284 km perigee
(nearest point to Earth) and 20,650 km apogee (farthest point to Earth) with an inclination of 17.86 degree with respect to the equatorial
plane.
As part of its aspirations to build a regional navigational system equivalent to GPS of developed countries, India is planning to send
seven satellites to put in place the Indian Regional Navigational Satellite System (IRNSS). http://www.business-standard.com/article/current-affairs/isro-s-irnss-1c-launch-postponed-for-a-week-114100600610_1.html
