ISRO notches another success with PSLV-C26
On October 15, 1994, India’s Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle
(PSLV-D2) for the first time successfully placed an Indian
Remote-sensing Satellite into orbit. Twenty years later, on October 16,
2014, the PSLV-C26 lobbed the 1,425 kg Indian Regional Navigation
Satellite System (IRNSS-1C) satellite into its precise orbit.
The latest mission was ISRO’s twenty-seventh consecutively
successful PSLV flight. ISRO Chairman K. Radhakrishnan said, “The PSLV
has done it again. IRNNSS-1C is up in orbit. ”
After a flight of 20 minutes and 18 seconds, the satellite was
injected into an elliptical orbit. The IRNSS-1C is the third among seven
navigation satellites, with a wide range of applications from helping
truck drivers to submarines, missiles and battle tanks locate their
positions. |
