GSLV
The GSLV, or Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle, is an expendable launch vehicle developed by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). It is designed to place satellites into geosynchronous orbits, which are essential for communication, weather monitoring, and other applications. The GSLV can carry heavier payloads compared to its predecessor, the PSLV (Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle).
The GSLV features a three-stage launch system, combining solid, liquid, and cryogenic propulsion technologies. This allows it to achieve the necessary thrust to reach high altitudes. Since its first successful flight in 2001, the GSLV has played a crucial role in enhancing India's capabilities in space exploration and satellite deployment.
