What is a Small Satellite Launch Vehicle(SSLV)?
● SSLV is an all-solid three-stage vehicle with the capability to launch up to 500 kg satellite mass into 500 km Low Earth Orbit(LEO).
● The SSLV has been developed to cater to a market for the launch of small satellites into low earth orbits.
● It is the smallest vehicle at 110-ton mass at ISRO.
● ISRO’s new chairman Dr Somanath is credited with designing and developing the SSLV.
● New Space India Limited (NSIL) under Department of Space will be the sole nodal agency responsible for providing end to end SSLV launch services for the customer satellite.
● Advantages of SSLV: SSLV would help in 1) Reduced Turn-around Time 2) Launch on Demand 3) Cost Optimization for Realization and Operation 4) Flexibility in accommodating Multiple Satellites and 5) Minimum launch infrastructure requirements.

💥Inflation Tax
● It is different from the regular tax we pay to the government.

●How?
The purchasing power of the cash will decrease and hence the value decreases.
💥Inflation Premium
●It is a method by which an investor calculates the normal rate of return on assets or investment during an inflation period.
● It is a part of the prevailing interest rate which results from investors pushing the nominal interest rates to a higher level to compensate for the expected inflation.
