'''IRNSS-1C''' is the third out of seven in the [[Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System]] (IRNSS) series of satellites after [[IRNSS-1A]] and [[IRNSS-1B]]. The IRNSS constellation of satellites is slated to be launched to provide navigational services to the region. It was launched on 15 October 2014 at 20:02 UTC by PSLV-C26 and will be placed in [[geostationary orbit]].<ref name="isrobrochure"/><ref name="skyrocket">{{cite web|url=http://space.skyrocket.de/doc_sdat/irnss.htm|title=IRNSS |publisher=space.skyrocket.de |access-date=6 December 2014}}</ref><ref>{{cite | '''IRNSS-1C''' is the third out of seven in the [[Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System]] (IRNSS) series of satellites after [[IRNSS-1A]] and [[IRNSS-1B]].

IRNSS-1C satellite will have two payloads: a navigation payload and CDMA ranging payload in addition with a laser retro-reflector. The payload generates navigation signals at [[L band|L5]] and [[S-band]]. The design of the payload makes the IRNSS system inter-operable and compatible with [[Global Positioning System]] (GPS) and [[Galileo (satellite navigation)|Galileo]] systems.<ref name="skyrocket"/> The satellite is powered by two solar arrays, which generate up to 1,660 watts, and has a life-time of ten years. | IRNSS-1C satellite will have two payloads: a navigation payload and CDMA ranging payload in addition with a laser retro-reflector.
