functionspace.org ISRO LAUNCH VEHICLES SATELLITE LAUNCH VEHICLES SLV ISRO's four-stage Satellite Launch Vehicle (SLV) program was India's first indigenous leap into space, spearheaded by APJ Abdul Kalam. SLV-3 was the first successful launch, which placed Rohini satellite (RS-1) in orbit, on July 18, 1980.

ISRO's expendable Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) can place 1050 kg satellites in geo-synchronous transfer orbits and 1600 kg satellites in 620 km polar orbit. The Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM) and Chandrayaan-1 lunar probe are two of the 70 payloads launched by it so far.

Weighing 320 tonnes at lift-off, the vehicle uses larger strap-on motors (PSOM-XL) to achieve higher payload capability. PSOM- XL uses larger 13.5m, 12 tonnes of solid propellants instead of 9 tonnes PSLV. On 29 December 2005. tested the improved version of strap-on booster for the PSLV. The first version of PSLV-XL was the launch of Chandrayaan-1 by PSLV-C11. The payload capability for this variant is 1800 kg compared to 1600 kg for the PSLV-HP (Under development / Proposed) As reported on the website of The New Indian Express newspaper (26 April 2007), PSLV project director N Narayanamoorthy spoke of another version being planned called the PSLV- PSLV PSLV-CA PSLV-3S (Under development/ Proposed) ISRO is also considering the development of a three-stage version of Equipped with six strap-on boosters, The PSLV-CA, CA meaning "Core Alone", model premiered on 23 April this is the standard 2007.

It is designed to put payloads weighing up to 1678 Kg into 622 Km Sun the six strap-on boosters used by the PSLV standard variant. Two small roll control modules and two first stage motor control injection tanks were still attached to the side of the first stage. The fourth stage of the CA variant has 400 kg less propellant when compared to its standard version. It currently has capability to launch 1,100 kg to 622 km sun synchronous orbit. used Lin the earlier confiquration the rocket without six HP, standing for 'high performance! It will have improved strap-ons motors, and the payload capability will be raised to 2000 kg. The HP version will be used to launch a constellation of seven navigation satellites strap-on boosters (with the second stage of the four-stage version of ISRO successfully removed) which will be capable of placing 500 kg to LEO. between 2010 and 2012. Among other things, the efficiency of the stage 4 engine will be improved in this version. other variants. Other launches include the RISAT Radar synchronous orbits. Imaging Satellite and GSAT-12. GEOSYNCHRONOUS SATELLITE LAUNCH VEHICLE GSLV Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV) was launched as an expendable launch system by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). It granted India freedom from dependence on foreign rockets and providers.
