IRNSS-1D is a satellite in the Indian Regional Navigational Satellite System (IRNSS) constellation. The satellite is the fourth of seven in the constellation, launched after IRNSS-1A, IRNSS-1B and IRNSS-1C. The satellite is the only satellite in the constellation slated to provide navigational services to the region. The satellite will be placed in geosynchronous orbit.{{cite web|url=http://space.skyrocket.de/doc_sdat/irnss.htm|title=IRNSS |publisher=space.skyrocket.de |access-date=6 December 2014}} It was launched successfully on 28 March 2015 onboard ISRO's PSLV-C27 from Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Sriharikota.{{cite web|url=http://www.ndtv.com/india-news/indias-fourth-navigational-satellite-irnss-1d-launched-from-sriharikota-750364|title=India's Fourth Navigational Satellite IRNSS-1D Launched From Sriharikota}}{{cite web|title=ISRO puts India's Navigation satellite IRNSS 1B into orbit|url=http://news.biharprabha.com/2014/04/isro-puts-second-irnss-navigation-satellite-into-orbit/|work=IANS|publisher=news.biharprabha.com|access-date=4 April 2014}}{{cite news|title=IRNSS 1-D launch put off|url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/bangalore/irnss1d-launch-put-off/article6959479.ece|work=India|date=4 March 2015 |publisher=thehindu.com|access-date=4 March 2015}}

Satellite

The satellite will help in augmenting the satellite based navigation system of India which is currently under development. The navigational system so developed will be a regional one targeted towards South Asia. The satellite will provide navigation, tracking and mapping services.{{cite news | url=http://www.indiatvnews.com/news/india/isro-after-gslv-launch-pslv-c-with-irnss-b-likely-in-march--32118.html | title=ISRO: After GSLV launch, PSLV C24 with IRNSS-1B likely in March| work=India | date=5 January 2014 | access-date=6 January 2014}}

IRNSS-1D satellite has two payloads: a navigation payload and CDMA ranging payload in addition with a laser retro-reflector. The payload generates navigation signals at L5 and S-band. The design of the payload makes the IRNSS system inter-operable and compatible with Global Positioning System (GPS) and Galileo. The satellite is powered by two solar arrays, which generate power up to 1,660 watts, and has a life-time of ten years.
