After launching the second navigation satellite, K Radhakrishnan, chairman, Isro said, "The launch was successful and it was injected very preciously. I thank the entire Isro team that made this major milestone for the country, proving it again India's PSLV as a place of pride". PSLV C24 injects IRNSS 1B into the intended orbit with remarkable precision, he said.
Radhakrishnan added that two more IRNSS (1C and 1D) will be launched in 2014, with that for enabling accurate measurements on the ground using receivers.
Three more satellites will be launched in by mid 2015 after which India would have seven constellations of seven satellites carrying out important services for the country.
The GSLV Mark III with a novel payload will be launched in June 2014.
