Summary
IRNSS-1A launched on an Indian Space Research Organization PSLV XL from Satish Dhawan Space Centre First Launch Pad, Satish Dhawan Space Centre, India on July 1, 2013. It was Indian Space Research Organization's 38th launch, 2nd this year and humanity's 5,303rd orbital launch attempt. It was the 4th PSLV XL flight and the 1st this year. The payload was bound for Geostationary Transfer Orbit (GTO). IRNSS-R1A, one of 2 catalogued objects, reached a 290 × 20,555 km orbit inclined 17.9°. 2 objects from this launch are catalogued, one of them a payload.

About this launch
IRNSS-1A was the first satellite of India's regional navigation system (NavIC), placed in an inclined geosynchronous orbit by ISRO; its atomic clocks later failed and it was retired to messaging duties.
