Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle
The Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV) is an Indian rocket designed to launch satellites into geosynchronous orbits. These orbits allow satellites to match the Earth's rotation, enabling them to stay fixed over a specific point on the planet. The GSLV is crucial for deploying communication, weather, and surveillance satellites.
Developed by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), the GSLV has multiple versions, each improving payload capacity and reliability. It uses a combination of solid and liquid fuels, making it versatile for various missions. The GSLV plays a vital role in enhancing India's capabilities in space exploration and satellite technology.
