A PSLV rocket successfully launched the third in a series of domestic navigation satellites on Thursday. The PSLV-XL lifted off from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre at 4:02 pm EDT Wednesday (2002 GMT Wednesday, 1:32 am Indian time Thursday) and released the IRNSS-1C into an elliptical transfer orbit. IRNSS-1C is the third satellite of the Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System.

The full seven-satellite IRNSS system is scheduled to be deployed by the end of next year.
