Launch Coverage Sponsored by ATK:

This will be the second IRNSS launch this year. Has ISRO officials mentioned the approximate launch date following the success of IRNSS-1B mission?

No launch dates yet. I guess it will be after GSLV Mk3 X1 launch.

"By 2014 we will launch two more navigational satellites - IRNSS-1C and IRNSS-1D. Three more navigational satellites will be launched early 2015. By middle of 2015, India will have all the navigational satellite system."

As per the present schedule, a PSLV mission is next in line - in the first or second week of October - after the Mars mission docks with the Red Planet.
The PSLV C-26 mission will have as payload the 1425 kg IRNSS-1C satellite, PSLV project director P Kunhikrishnan said. This is the third of the seven satellites planned in the Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS) series.

An Intelsat California earth station will be used for IRNSS-1C early orbit operations. Service has been authorized from October 8 for up to 30 days

We are working towards the launch of IRNSS 1C, which is tentatively scheduled around 2 am on October 9. The countdown for the launch would be a bit longer for over 60 hours and likely to commence on October 6," a senior ISRO official told PTI

Assuming its not a reporter error, I guess this is the second IRNSS launch near midnight after 1A. Are there any particular reasons why such late night launch times are chosen for these GSO sats?

As a minor note, I believe this launch will mark the first time that ISRO makes more than 3 orbital launches in a year. Not a big change in the first appearance, but signifies a gradual scaling up of activities that could accelerate in the coming years, with the commissioning of a second VAB and Third launch pad.
