All eyes on ISRO’s navigation satelliteIRNSS-1I to be launched tomorrowThe space port of Sriharikota is set to launch navigation satellite IRNSS-1I on Thursday, its second mission in a fortnight. Indian Space Research Organisation(ISRO) said it will be launched at 4.04 a.m. from the coastal Satish Dhawan Space Centre, about 80 km from Chennai.The 1,425-kg replacement spacecraft will join and support the older seven Indian navigation satellites, 1A to 1G

Only on March 29, ISRO had launched its communication satellite, GSAT-6A, from the second launch pad of the space port. That spacecraft had almost reached its orbit on Day 3 but stopped giving out signals.1I will be the eighth in the ring of NavIC (Navigation with Indian Constellation)

IRNSS-1I has two types of payloads, navigation payload and the ranging payload. The navigation payload transmits navigation service signals to the users. This payload is operating in L5 band and S band. A highly accurate Rubidium atomic clock is part of the navigation payload of the satellite.Failure of these Rubidium atomic clocks was the reason for IRNSS-1A to be deemed unfit.
