India successfully launched its dedicated navigational satellite at 11.41 pm on Monday. The Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) C22 that carried the IRNSS – 1A satellite went into space in what was India’s first nocturnal launch.
‘The IRNSS-1A satellite was precisely injected into its intended orbit. This only proves that PSLV is an extremely reliable vehicle and with this flight, we are also entering into a new era of space application in the country that is the beginning of satellite navigation programme… I am extremely happy to announce that we had another excellent flight of our PSLV vehicle. This is the 23rd successive successful flight of PSLV and the fourth successful flight of extended version of PSLV’, said ISRO Chairman K. Radhakrishnan.
