IRNSS-1E
open-in-new
<h2 id="satellite">Satellite</h2> <p>IRNSS-1E will help augmenting the satellite based navigation system of India which is currently under development. The navigational system so developed will be regional, targeted towards South Asia. The satellite will provide navigation, tracking and mapping services.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:6" href="#fn:6"><sup>6</sup></a> </p><p>The satellite will have two payloads: a navigation payload and CDMA ranging payload in addition with a laser retro-reflector. The payload generates navigation signals at L5 and S-band. The design of the payload makes the IRNSS system interoperable and compatible with <a href="/facts/Global_Positioning_System/DKVLnzF3">Global Positioning System (GPS)</a> and <a href="/facts/Galileo_(satellite_navigation)/sPyWl594">Galileo</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:7" href="#fn:7"><sup>7</sup></a> The satellite is powered by two solar arrays, which generate power up to 1,660 watts, and has a designed life-time of twelve years.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:8" href="#fn:8"><sup>8</sup></a> </p> <h2 id="launcher">Launcher</h2> <p>The <a href="/facts/Polar_Satellite_Launch_Vehicle/KantsJM7">Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle</a>, in its 33rd flight (PSLV-C31), launched IRNSS-1E from the Second Launch Pad (SLP) of <a href="/facts/Satish_Dhawan_Space_Centre/GkXD3tL3">Satish Dhawan Space Centre</a> (SDSC), Sriharikota. As in the previous four launches of IRNSS satellites, PSLV-C31 will use ‘XL’ version of PSLV.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:9" href="#fn:9"><sup>9</sup></a> </p> <h2 id="see-also">See also</h2> <ul> <li>Spaceflight portal</li><li>India portal</li></ul> <ul><li><a href="/facts/List_of_IRNSS_satellites/k3JM5NBx">List of IRNSS satellites</a></li> <li><a href="/facts/Communication-Centric_Intelligence_Satellite/YMj2PGdX">Communication-Centric Intelligence Satellite (CCI-Sat)</a></li> <li><a href="/facts/GPS-aided_geo-augmented_navigation/PCuB48Lk">GPS-aided geo-augmented navigation (GAGAN)</a></li> <li><a href="/facts/Satellite_navigation/lVgPlF5v">Satellite navigation</a></li></ul> <h2 id="external-links">External links</h2> <ul><li><a href="http://www.isro.gov.in/launcher/pslv-c31-irnss-1e">PSLV-C31/IRNSS-1E</a> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160114231433/http://www.isro.gov.in/launcher/pslv-c31-irnss-1e">Archived</a> 14 January 2016 at the <a href="/facts/Wayback_Machine/nmQ3a6JC">Wayback Machine</a></li> <li><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20160304193335/http://maadhyam.isro.gov.in/">ISRO Media Online Registration for Launch Coverage</a></li> <li><a href="http://www.isro.org/scripts/futureprogramme.aspx">ISRO Future Programmes</a></li> <li><a href="https://satellitecoverage.net/satellite-tracking/?satellite=41241">IRNSS-1E Real Time Tracking</a></li></ul> <h2 id="references">References</h2> <ol> <li id="fn:1"><p>"IRNSS". space.skyrocket.de.
