In the 35th flight of PSLV ( PSLV-C33) of ISRO has launched the 1425 Kg IRNSS-1G, the 7th satellite in the Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS) on 28th April, 2016 from Satish Dhawan Space Center, Sriharikota. This is the 34th consecutive successful mission of PSLV and the 13th in its 'XL' configuration.
Honourable Prime Minister of India, Sri Narendra Modi congratulated all the ISRO scientists and the team ISRO for completing the IRNSS constellation and dedicated the IRNSS system to the nation and named it as "NavIC" ( Navigation Indian constellation ).
The PSLV-C33 lifted off at 12:50 Pm IST from the first launch pad with the ignition of first stage, the subsequent flight events took place as planned. After 19 minutes and 42 seconds, the IRNSS-1G spacecraft was injected into the elliptical orbit of 283 Km x 20718 Km inclined at an angle of 17.867 degrees to the equator.
After separation, the solar panels of the IRNSS-1G were deployed automatically and ISRO's Master Control Facility at Hasan took over the control of the spacecraft. The orbital manoeuvres were conducted by MCF and the satellite was finally placed into Geo stationary orbit at 129.5 degrees East longitude.
IRNSS-1G is the seventh and the last satellite in the IRNSS constellation. Here is a video of the PLSV-C33 Launch..
