GSLV Mk III
The GSLV Mk III, also known as LVM-3, is an expendable launch vehicle developed by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). It is designed to carry heavier payloads into geostationary transfer orbit, making it a crucial part of India's space exploration efforts. The rocket can lift approximately 4,000 kilograms to geostationary orbit and is equipped with advanced technology for improved performance.
The GSLV Mk III features a three-stage design, combining solid, liquid, and cryogenic propulsion systems. Its maiden flight took place in 2014, and it has since been used for significant missions, including launching the GSAT-19 and GSAT-30 communication satellites. This vehicle enhances India's capabilities in satellite deployment and interplanetary missions.
