IRNSS-1H
IRNSS-1H was the eighth in the Indian Regional Navigational Satellite System (IRNSS) series of satellites, after IRNSS-1A, IRNSS-1B, IRNSS-1C, IRNSS-1D, IRNSS-1E, IRNSS-1F and IRNSS-1G. It was lost in the launch failure of PSLV-C39 on August 31, 2017. Overview IRNSS-1H was India's first satellite to be assembled, integrated and tested by private firms under ISRO supervision and was intended to replace the failed IRNSS-1A and complete the NAVIC constellation of geosynchronous navigation satellites which is a ₹1420-crore independent regional navigation satellite system developed by India. Payload: Navigation payload in S band and L5 band, dual Helix Array Antenna (1.1 m diameter) CDMA ranging payload in C band Rubidium Atomic Frequency Standard Corner Cube Retro Reflector for Laser Ranging Propulsion: Conventional bipropellant system with Mono Methyl Hydrazine as fuel and Mixed Oxides of Nitrogen (MON-3) as oxidizer. Twelve 22N thrusters. One 440N Liquid Apogee Motor (LAM) Two 390 litres propellant tanks One 67 litre pressurant tank with CFRP overwrap and Titanium liner. Launch PSLV-C39 carrying IRNSS-1H was using XL variant of Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle on its forty-first flight. Launch occurred as scheduled at 19:00 IST or 13:30 UTC, 31 August 2017 from Second Launch Pad of SDSC (SHAR) aiming for orbit
