A Space Launch Vehicle (SLV) is a type of rocket designed to transport payloads, such as satellites or scientific instruments, from Earth's surface into space. SLVs are engineered to overcome Earth's gravity and typically consist of multiple stages that detach as fuel is consumed, allowing the vehicle to reach higher altitudes and speeds. These vehicles can vary in size and capability, with some designed for launching small satellites while others can carry larger payloads, including crewed missions. Notable examples of SLVs include the SpaceX Falcon 9, the NASA Space Launch System (SLS), and the Ariane 5.
