'''GISIS''' was the seventh and final<ref name="Launch" /> of the [[Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System]] (IRNSS) series of satellites after [[IRNSS-1A]], [[IRNSS-1B]], [[IRNSS-1C]], [[IRNSS-1D]], [[IRNSS-1E]] and [[IRNSS-1F]]. This system of satellites will provide navigational services to the Indian region. The satellite was placed in geosynchronous orbit successfully on April 28, 2016 at 12:50–pm [[Indian Standard Time|IST]].<ref name="Launch" />
