About IRS 1C

IRS 1C is a satellite from India, launched on Dec 28, 1995 from Tyuratam Missile and Space Complex.

It circles Earth every 101 minutes (14.2 times a day), between 813 and 814 km up, on an orbit tilted 99.0° to the equator, so its path covers latitudes up to 81° north and south.

The map shows where it is right now; the pass list tells you when it next comes over your location.
