  So are we saying this will result in IRNSS reaching operational capacity?
  

  
  IRNSS requires 7 satellites to be operational, and this one will be the sixth
  

  
  Copy that, thanks!

  To be oprational in full capacity it needs seven, minimum being four. It is operating already but with less accuracy and some institutes and marine vessels have had receivers installed for testing.
  
  Edit: With 4 it had 18hr availability and lower accuracy. With five it reached 24hr availability with <20m accuracy

  Presumably also on http://webcast.gov.in/live/

• And probably https://www.youtube.com/user/INBMINISTRY/videos?view=2&flow=grid because they have broadcast previous IRNSS launches, but I meant first confirmed webcast.
