IRNSS 1G is the seventh and final spacecraft for a regional navigation network - Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS) to provide position data to users across the subcontinent independent of foreign satellite systems. Once it is operational, IRNSS 1G will be the third satellite to enter an equator-hugging geostationary-type orbit at an inclination of 5 degrees. Four other navigation satellites are in geosynchronous-type orbits inclined 29 degrees to the equator. Each IRNSS satellite designed for a 12-year lifetime and carries L-band and S-band navigation signal transmitters. A C-band transponder aboard each spacecraft helps generate location estimates for the satellites, and a rubidium atomic clock keeps time aboard each platform.
