3. Reduce dependency on foreign owned
navigational systems like GPS (owned by US
Govt) or GLONASS (owned by Russia) during
times of conflicts esp. wars.

5. SEVEN SATELLITES :
1. IRNSS-1A – launched on 1-july-2013
2. IRNSS-1B
3. IRNSS-1C
4. IRNSS-1D
5. IRNSS-1E
6. IRNSS-1F
7. IRNSS-1G – launched on 28-april-2016

7. IRNSS Space Craft Control Centre (SCC)
IRNSS Navigation Centre (INC)
FUNCTIONS:
Estimating & Predicting IRNSS Satellite positions.
Calculation of integrity
Ionospheric & Clock corrections
Running the navigation software

8. IRNSS receivers.
DUAL-FREQUENCY:- L5 band: (1164 – 1189) MHz
central freq: 1176.45 MHz
S band: (2483.5 - 2500) MHz
central freq: 2492.028 MHz
SINGLE-FREQUENCY:- either L5 band or S band
These receivers are currently being manufactured and
Will be available soon.

9. Standard Positioning Service (SPS):
 will be accessible to civilians.
 will have an accuracy of upto 20m.
Restricted Service (RS):
 will be strongly encripted and available only
to the military and other government
authorized users.
Both services will be carried on L5 & S band.

10. Cell phone apps- for mapping, driving, hiking in
jungle and in remote areas
Forest department- putting out wildfires, tracking
endangered species
During WAR- naval fleet management, missile
navigation etc.
Fleet management e.g. Taxi or truck companies can
monitor their vehicles.
Disaster management

11. GPS IRNSS
First launch: 1973 First launch: 2013
Owned by: US Govt. Owned by: Govt. Of India
Satellites: 24 Satellites: 7
Orbital Height: 20,000 km Orbital Height: 36000 km
(Medium Earth Orbit) (Geostationary Earth Orbit)

around Indian landmass

12. CONCLUSION &
FUTURE PROSPECTS
 With IRNSS India has placed itself in the prestigious
league of countries having their own Satellite navigation
system and has proved the mettle of its advanced
technology.
 In future, more satellites can be added to increase
coverage so much so that covering the entire globe- just
like GPS.
