2. Satellite launch vehicles are used to place the
satellites in their specific orbits. The function
of this vehicle is based on Newton’s third law
of motion. ISRO has developed PSLV [ polar
satellite launch vehicle ]. It consists of an
engine which uses solid fuel that provides
initial thrust which provides certain velocity
and takes it to certain height. There are four
stages which uses solid and liquid fuel
alternatively. Once the first stage fuel is used
up the engine and first stage gets detached
from the main body and falls into sea or
unpopulated land. The weight got reduced
and it moves with more high speed. Once the
fuel in first stage is exhausted the fuel in
second stage is ignited and so on.
4. • The Satellite Launch Vehicle, or SLV was a project started in
the early 1970s by the Indian SpaceResearch Organisation to
develop the technology needed to launch satellites. The
project was headed by APJ Abdul Kalam. Satellite Launch
Vehicle-3 (SLV-3) was India's first experimental satellite
launch vehicle, which was an all solid, four stage vehicle
weighing 17 tonnes with a height of 22m and capable of
placing 40 kg class payloads in Low Earth Orbit (LEO).
6. • The Augmented Satellite Launch Vehicle (ASLV)
Programme was designed to augment the payload capacity to
150 kg, thrice that of SLV-3, for Low Earth Orbits (LEO). It
had two payloads, Gamma Ray Burst (GRB) Experiment and
Retarding Potentio Analyser (RPA) and functioned for seven
years.
8. • Indian Space Research Organisation launched the PSLV-C51
carrying Amazonia-1 and 18 other satellites from
Sriharikot. Here is all you need to know about the lunch.
PSLV C 51 lifts off successfully from Satish Dhawan Space
Centre, Sriharikota.The Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle
(PSLV) is an expendable medium-lift launch vehicle designed
and operated by the Indian Space Research Organisation
(ISRO) ...
10. • Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV) is
an expendable launch system operated by the Indian
Space Research Organisation (ISRO).As of August 12, 2021,
rockets from the GSLV family have made 14 launches,
resulting in 8 successes, four failures, and two partial failures.
All launches have occurred from the Satish Dhawan Space
Centre, known before 2002 as the Sriharikota Range
(SHAR).
