IRNSS-1I is a replacement satellite for India's home-grown
navigation constellation IRNSS. The satellite joins seven other
satellites in the Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System,
also known as NavIC, which stands for Navigation with Indian
Constellation. IRNSS 1I was placed into an on-target orbit
ranging between 174 miles (281 kilometers) and 12,881 miles
(20,730 kilometers) above Earth. The navigation satellite is
scheduled to enter service in May, after four orbit-raising
burns with the satellite's main engine to climb into a circular
geosynchronous-type orbit at an altitude of more than 22,000
miles [35,406 km]. The craft's operating orbit will be tilted at
an angle of 29 degrees to the equator and centered at 55 degrees
east longitude, requiring a plane change from the 19.2-degree
inclination targeted on initial launch.
