ISRO: After GSLV launch, PSLV C24 with IRNSS-1B likely in March

Chennai: Even as ISRO is gearing up for the launch of GSLV D5 from Sriharikota tomorrow, preparations are on for launch of the PSLV C24 carrying IRNSS-1B, which is likely in March.

"The integration process of the satellite IRNSS-1B with launch vehicle PSLV C24 was started on December 27. The launch is most likely in March," a senior ISRO official told PTI.

Since the integration is expected to take around 60 days, the vehicle would be ready by February end and the likely launch would be in March, he said.

"Right now, we decided to stop the integration of IRNSS-1B with PSLV C24 for three days due to the scheduled launch of GSLV D5 with GSAT-14 tomorrow," he said.

IRNSS-1B is the second satellite in the Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS) and is one of the seven satellites constituting the IRNSS space segment.

IRNSS-1A was successfully launch on board PSLV C22 on July 1 last year.

The applications of IRNSS include terrestrial, aerial and marine navigation, disaster management, vehicle tracking and fleet management, integration with mobile phones, precise timing, mapping and geodetic data capture, terrestrial navigation aid for hikers and travellers and visual and voice navigation for drivers.

According to him, the next fiscal (April 2014-March 2015) would see ISRO launching three IRNSS (Indian Regional Navigational Satellite System) satellites taking the total to four and be ready for usage.

Пуск IRNSS-R1B состоится не ранее мая 2014 с учётом пуска GSLV Mk III в апреле по суборбитальной траектории.

IRNSS 1-B launch set for March 31
Last Updated: Friday, March 07, 2014, 21:45
 
Chennai: India's latest navigational satellite IRNSS 1-B would be launched onboard PSLV C-24 rocket from the spaceport at Sriharikota on March 31.

There would be a two-and-a-half day countdown which would be preceded by a launch rehearsal on March 26, Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) sources said today.

"The launch of IRNSS 1-B from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre at Sriharikota is scheduled at 5.20 pm on March 31," they told PTI.

This is the second of the seven satellites planned for Indian Regional Navigational Satellite System (IRNSS), whose applications include terrestrial and marine navigation, disaster management, vehicle tracking and fleet management.

ISRO had launched IRNSS 1-A, the first in the series, on July 1 last year onboard its workhorse Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) C-22.

IRNSS is similar to US' Global Positioning System (GPS), Russia's Glonass and Europe's Galileo. China and Japan too have similar systems named Beidou and Japanese Quasi Zenith Satellite System respectively, they said.

Chennai: The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is set to launch its second navigational satellite, Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System-1B (IRNSS-1B), next week from Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC) SHAR at Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh.

 The satellite will be launched on April 4 using its rocket, Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV).

 "The rocket and the satellite are now fully integrated. The full vehicle tests are being carried out," Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC) SHAR Director MYS Prasad was quoted as saying to IANS, adding that all systems are fine.

He said the launch rehearsal would be held March 29, and its countdown will begin April 2.

 The countdown for the rocket launch will be around 53 hours. The PSLV rocket carrying the 1,432-kg IRNSS-1B satellite is slated to blast off at 5.14 p.m. April 4, Prasad said.

 The IRNSS-1B satellite will be part of the seven-satellite Indian regional navigational system, developed by India.

 India launched its first navigational satellite IRNSS-1A in July 2013, using PSLV-C22. The IRNSS-IB has been realised in less than seven months of the launch of the IRNSS-1A.

Indian PSLV Rocket ready for long Launch Countdown to Liftoff on Friday
http://www.spaceflight101.com/pslv-c24-launch-updates-irnss-1b.html

An Indian Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle is being readied for launch at the Satish Dhawan Space Center for liftoff later this week to deliver the second satellite in the Indian Regional Navigational Satellite System to orbit. Launch is planned at 11:44 UTC on Friday, April 4.

Following the assembly of the PSLV rocket that was completed earlier this year, the launcher completed extensive checkouts and the payload for the C24 mission also underwent its final processing flow at the launch site. IRNSS-1B was delivered to Satish Dhawan and underwent detailed checkouts and stand-alone testing to verify that all of its systems were operational. Later, the 614-Kilogram satellite was loaded with 818 Kilograms of storable propellants for consumption by the bi-propellant Liquid Apogee Motor for orbit-raising after launch and the propulsive attitude control system during its regular mission.

After another round of inspections, the satellite was installed on the fourth stage of the PSLV XL launch vehicle via its payload adapter on March 28. The next step was the installation of the payload fairing around the spacecraft and the upper stage of the rocket. Also, global checks of the assembled launch vehicle were performed to make sure all electrical and data connections were functional.

On March 29, PSLV was put through a complete launch dress rehearsal as the launch team went through the terminal phase of the countdown and performed a flight simulation to ensure that all subsystems of the launcher are functioning properly and the computers issue the appropriate commands at the correct times.

With the rocket standing tall on its launch pad, teams are performing final pre-countdown activities to prepare the launch vehicle and ground systems for the initiation of the long launch countdown.

Спойлер

Flying in its XL configuration, PSLV stands 44.5 meters tall, has a core diameter of 2.8 meters and a liftoff mass of 320,000 Kilograms.

The launcher uses a large solid-fueled core stage with six Solid Rocket Boosters, four of which ignite at launch and two are ignited in flight. The second stage uses liquid fuel while the third stage is solid fueled. The liquid-fueled fourth stage of the rocket provides the satellite with its final boost into orbit and ensures a precise injection.

The 58-hour 30-minute countdown sequence starting on Wednesday at 1:14 UTC will prepare the stacked vehicle for flight. Nominal Countdown operations include the Propellant Loading of the second and fourth stage of the PSLV Launcher with 40,700 and 2,000 Kilograms, respectively.

Also during the countdown, extensive checks of the rocket and the spacecraft are conducted as well as battery charging. In addition to that, India's Ground Network of Tracking Stations is being configured for the flight.

Over the course of the final countdown hours on Friday, teams perform final hands-on work to close out the launch vehicle and launch pad facilities while the launch team monitors all systems of the launcher and the spacecraft, putting the vehicle through a last set of electrical, communications and control systems checks before pressing into the final countdown sequence. During the final minutes of the countdown, the launcher pressurizes its propellant tanks for flight, transitions to internal power and enables its flight control system in launch mode for PS1 ignition when clocks hit zero.
