INDIA : PSLV-C26 launched successfully, India's 3rd navigation satellite.

India has  launched successfully its 3rd navigation satellite IRNSS 1C onboard ISRO's PSLV C26 rocket, moving it a step closer to setting up its own navigation system which is on par with those of other space exploring nations.

Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle-C26(PSLV-C26), standing around 44.4 metres tall and weighing around 320 ton, blasted off from the first launch pad at the Satish Dhawan Space Centre, around 80 km from Chennai at exactly 1.32 am.

The expendable rocket with fierce orange flames at its tail tore into the night skies with its luggage, the 1,425 kg IRNSS-1C (Indian Regional Navigational Satellite System-1C) satellite.

This is the third of seven satellites planned under the IRNSS to be launched.
