🔆 Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV)
📍 What is PSLV?
✅ PSLV is India’s third-generation launch vehicle developed by the Indian Space Research Organisation.
✅ It is used for placing satellites into different Earth orbits.
✅ The first successful launch of PSLV took place in 1994.
📍 Role
✅ PSLV is known as the “workhorse of ISRO”.
✅ It is mainly used for launching satellites into Low Earth Orbit (LEO).
📍 Design
✅ PSLV is a four-stage launch vehicle.
✅ It was the first Indian rocket to use liquid propulsion stages.
✅ The vehicle uses alternating solid and liquid fuel stages.
📍 Orbits Served
✅ PSLV is used for placing satellites in:
➡️ Sun-synchronous Orbit
➡️ Geostationary Transfer Orbit
➡️ Navigation Orbits
📍 Payload Capacity
✅ PSLV can carry about 1,750 kg payload to a 600 km Sun-Synchronous Polar Orbit.
📍 Variants
✅ Major variants of PSLV are:
➡️ PSLV-XL – uses extended strap-on boosters
➡️ PSLV-DL
➡️ PSLV-QL
📍 Important Achievements
✅ PSLV gained global recognition through the PSLV-C37 mission in 2017.
✅ In this mission, PSLV launched 104 satellites in a single flight, creating a world record.
✅ PSLV has been highly reliable, with only two failures since its inception.
📍 Major Missions Launched by PSLV
✅ Chandrayaan-1 (2008)
✅ Mars Orbiter Mission (2013)
✅ AstroSat
📍 Failures
✅ PSLV failed during its inaugural flight in 1993.
✅ Another failure occurred in the PSLV-C39 mission in 2017.
