IRNSS-1E is the fifth out of seven in the Indian Regional Navigational Satellite System (IRNSS) series of satellites after IRNSS-1A, IRNSS-1B, IRNSS-1C and IRNSS-1D. It is one among the seven of the IRNSS constellation of satellites launched to provide navigational services to the region. The satellite was 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}} IRNSS-1E has been successfully launched into orbit on 20 January 2016{{cite news|url=https://www.deccanchronicle.com/science/200116/isro-chairman-congratulates-team-on-successful-launch.html|title=Deccan chronicle ISRO chairman congratulates team on successful launch}}{{cite news|url=http://www.business-standard.com/article/current-affairs/successful-commercial-launches-boost-isro-s-reputation-in-2015-115122900399_1.html|title=Successful commercial launches boost ISRO's reputation in 2015 |newspaper=Business Standard India |date=29 December 2015 |access-date=30 December 2015}} In 2025, IRNSS-1E was planned to be replaced at its orbital slot of 111.75ºE by NVS-02.{{Cite news |last=C.S |first=Hemanth |date=2025-01-29 |title=ISRO successfully launches NVS-02 satellite; creates history with the 100th launch from Sriharikota |url=https://www.thehindu.com/sci-tech/isro-successfully-launches-nvs-02-satellite/article69153254.ece |access-date=2025-02-02 |work=The Hindu |language=en-IN |issn=0971-751X}} However, following the failure of NVS-02, IRNSS-1E will countinue to remain at its slot.{{Cite web |title=ISRO's Latest Mission Hits A Hurdle, Satellite Faces Technical Glitch |url=https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/isro-100th-mission-hits-a-hurdle-satellite-faces-technical-glitch-7618493 |access-date=2025-02-02 |website=www.ndtv.com |language=en}}

Satellite

IRNSS-1E will help augmenting the satellite based navigation system of India which is currently under development. The navigational system so developed will be regional, 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| publisher=India TV | date=5 January 2014 | access-date=6 January 2014}}

The satellite will have 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 interoperable 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 designed life-time of twelve years.

Launcher

The Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle, in its 33rd flight (PSLV-C31), launched IRNSS-1E from the Second Launch Pad (SLP) of Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC), Sriharikota. As in the previous four launches of IRNSS satellites, PSLV-C31 will use ‘XL’ version of PSLV.[http://www.isro.gov.in/launcher/pslv-c31-irnss-1e PSLV-C31/IRNSS-1E] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160114231433/http://www.isro.gov.in/launcher/pslv-c31-irnss-1e |date=14 January 2016 }}, ISRO.
