What are the benefits of PSLV?

The PSLV is capable of placing multiple payloads into orbit, thus multi-payload adaptors are used in the payload fairing. This allowed the feat of launching 10 satellites into different orbits in 2008.

How many PSLV ISRO launched?

This was the 78th launch vehicle mission from SDSC SHAR, Sriharikota. With today’s launch, the total number of customer satellites from foreign countries placed in orbit by PSLV is 342 satellites from 34 countries. Chairman, ISRO concluded with a brief on the upcoming missions.

What is the full form of GSLV?

Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle Mark II (GSLV Mk II) is the largest launch vehicle developed by India, which is currently in operation.

What is meant by GSLV?

Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle Mark II (GSLV Mk II) is the largest launch vehicle developed by India, which is currently in operation. This fourth generation launch vehicle is a three stage vehicle with four liquid strap-ons.

What is launch vehicle name the launch vehicle developed by India?

Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle
India has two operational launchers: Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) and Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV). GSLV with indigenous Cryogenic Upper Stage has enabled the launching up to 2 tonne class of communication satellites.

What is the difference between PSLV and GSLV?

Both PSLV (Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle) and GSLV (Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle) are the satellite-launch vehicles (rockets) developed by ISRO. PSLV is designed mainly to deliver the “earth-observation” or “remote-sensing” satellites with lift-off mass…

What are the salient features of GSLV-Mk II?

GSLV-Mk II is the largest launch vehicle developed by India. The salient features of this launch vehicle are mentioned below: It is a fourth-generation launch vehicle. It has three stages. First stage – The 138-tonne solid rocket motor is augmented by 4 liquid strap-ons. Second stage – One Vikas engine is used in the second stage of GSLV.

Why is the GSLV’s last stage so heavy?

One of the main reasons why the GSLV has such an increased load is its utilization of a cryogenic rocket engine for its last stage. The cryogenic rocket engine provides more thrust than conventional liquid rocket engines but the fuel and oxidizer needs to be super cooled in order to keep them in a liquid state.

What are the uses of PSLV?

Apart from launching the remote sensing satellites to Sun-synchronous polar orbits, the PSLV is also used to launch the satellites of lower lift-off mass of up to about 1400 Kg to the elliptical Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit (GTO).
