Chennai: India’s fourth navigation satellite IRNSS-1D, whose 9 March lift-off was postponed following some anomaly, will be launched onboard PSLV C-27 on 28 March from Sriharikota as per the new schedule, Isro chairman A.S. Kiran Kumar said on Wednesday.

The spacecraft is one among the seven of the IRNSS constellation of satellites slated to be launched to provide navigational services. “IRNSS-1D will be launched onboard PSLV-C27 as per schedule at 5.19pm on 28 March from Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Sriharikota," he told reporters at the airport.

The satellite will be placed in geosynchronous orbit. Due to anomaly, ISRO postponed IRNSS-1D launch earlier scheduled for 9 March.

The fresh schedule was announced by Isro in a post on its Facebook page on 23 March. On Mangalyan mission, Kumar said it has been extended for six more months as it has enough fuel. The Mars orbiter completed six months of orbiting around the red planet on Tuesday. On September 24, 2014, India successfully placed the low cost Mars spacecraft in orbit around the red planet.
