Indian Regional Navigational Satellite System (IRNSS)
|
India is developing a satellite system that will provide navigation services similar to GPS, but optimized for coverage limited to India and the surrounding region, out to about 1500 km. The system will be comprised of three geostationary satellites at 32.5, 83, and 131.5 deg East longitude. Four additional satellites will be in inclined geosynchronous orbits that will trace a figure-8 pattern with an inclination of 29 deg and longitude crossings at 55 and 111.75 deg East. The first inclined geosynchronous satellite, IRNSS-1A, was launched on July 1, 2013, with the full constellation expected to be launched and operational by 2015.
