    Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle

    Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle
  • The Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle, recognised as PSLV, is an extendable launch system operated by the ISRO.

    It was developed to allow India to launch it's satellites into sun-synchronous orbits, a service that until it's advent was commercially available only in Russia.

    Notable payloads previously launched by the PSLV include India's first lunar probe, Chandrayaan-1, first interplanetary mission, Mangalyaan and first space observatory, Astrosat.

  • Information

    Sun-synchronous orbits

  • A Sun-synchronous orbit (SSO) is also called a heliosynchronous orbit. It combines altitude and inclination in a way that any satellite passing over a planet's surface will always encounter daylight. Thus, placing a satellite in constant sunlight becomes useful for imaging, spy, and weather satellites.
