HomeArticles, FAQWhat is the purpose of PSLV?

It was developed to allow India to launch its Indian Remote Sensing (IRS) satellites into sun-synchronous orbits, a service that was, until the advent of the PSLV in 1993, commercially available only from Russia. PSLV can also launch small size satellites into Geostationary Transfer Orbit (GTO).

Q. Which is more powerful PSLV or GSLV?

Mk III is India’s most powerful launch vehicle built to lift satellites weighing up to 4 tons into the Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit or about 10 tons to Low Earth Orbit. This is about twice the capability of current GSLV Mk II, and more than thrice the capacity of ISRO’s old workhorse PSLV.

Q. What is the meaning of PSLV and GSLV?

Overview. Launchers or Launch Vehicles are used to carry spacecraft to space. India has two operational launchers: Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) and Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV).

Q. Can PSLV be used as missile?

The PSLV could readily deliver a nuclear warhead over intercontinental distances, if re-engineered as a weapon system. With an expected range of 14,000 km and a payload of 2,500 kg, the GSLV would have an even greater potential than the PSLV as an ICBM.

Q. What is full form of GSLV?

Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle Mark II (GSLV Mk II) is the largest launch vehicle developed by India, which is currently in operation.

Q. What is full form of Aslv?
