New Delhi, Oct 16 (IBNS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday congratulated scientists of the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) for the successful launch of the navigation satellite "IRNSS 1C".

In a message PM said, "Congrats to the scientists at ISRO for the successful launch of navigation satellite IRNSS 1C.” “It is a matter of immense pride and joy," he said.

ISRO’s Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV-C26) successfully launched IRNSS-1C, the third satellite in the Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System (IRNSS) on Thursday from Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC) in Sriharikota.

IRNSS-1C is the third of the seven satellites constituting the space segment of the Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System.

The entire IRNSS constellation of seven satellites is planned to be completed by 2015.
