IRNSS-1F is the sixth navigation satellite out of seven in the Indian Regional Navigational Satellite System (IRNSS) series of satellites after IRNSS-1A, IRNSS-1B, IRNSS-1C, IRNSS-1D and IRNSS-1E. The satellite is one among the seven of the IRNSS constellation of satellites launched to provide navigational services to the region.{{Cite news|url=http://www.thehindu.com/sci-tech/science/pslvc32-lifts-off-with-navigation-satellite-irnss1f/article8336628.ece|title=India's sixth navigation satellite, IRNSS-1F, put into orbit|access-date=2016-03-10|work=The Hindu|date=10 March 2016 }}
Launch
It was launched aboard a PSLV-XL rocket bearing flight number C32 and was successfully put into geosynchronous orbit at 1601 hrs IST on 10 March 2016.{{cite web|url=http://space.skyrocket.de/doc_sdat/irnss.htm|title=IRNSS |publisher=space.skyrocket.de |access-date=6 December 2014}}{{cite web|url=http://www.isro.gov.in/launcher/pslv-c32-irnss-1f|title=IRNSS-1F|publisher=isro.gov.in|access-date=9 March 2016|archive-date=8 March 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160308144618/http://www.isro.gov.in/launcher/pslv-c32-irnss-1f|url-status=dead}}
Spacecraft
The satellite carries two types of payloads. The navigation payload transmit navigation service signals to users and ranging payload consists of C-band transponder that facilitates accurate determination of the range of the satellite.
It carries Corner Cube Retro Reflectors for laser ranging.{{Cite web|url=http://www.isro.gov.in/Spacecraft/irnss-1f|title=IRNSS-1F - ISRO|website=www.isro.gov.in|language=en|access-date=2017-06-08|archive-date=2017-07-31|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170731190152/http://www.isro.gov.in/Spacecraft/irnss-1f|url-status=dead}}
IRNSS-1F has a 12-year mission life.{{Cite web|url=http://indianexpress.com/article/india/india-news-india/isro-navigation-satellite-sriharikota/|title=ISRO successfully launches navigation satellite IRNSS-1F.Earlier satellite launch of IRNSS 1E was in January 2016 - PSLV C31 |access-date=2016-03-10}}
