Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) has successfully launched PSLV-C33 carrying IRNSS-1G into orbit from the SHAR Range at Sriharikota. IRNSS-1G is the seventh and final in the series of navigation satellites of the Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS).
The launch of PSLV-C33 is an important landmark in space programme with India now joining the small group of nations having own regional satellite navigation system. It demonstrates, yet again, India’s growing capabilities in space launch technology. The nation is proud of this achievement.
