Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle

Often dubbed as "naughty boy" for its spotty success rate, the Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle-II of ISRO has earned new sobriquets such as "mature", "obedient", "smarty" and "natty" after two consecutive successful launches.

A Geosynchronous Launch Vehicle carrying a third-generation meteorological satellite lifted off from the spaceport here on Saturday.

The mission is designed to deploy the NVS-01 navigation satellite, weighing 2,232 kilograms, into a Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit (GTO).

ISRO's heaviest LVM3 rocket has been enhanced by up to 450 kg with a successful engine test, the Indian space agency said on Thursday. The LVM3 rocket, a three-stage vehicle with two solid motor strap-ons, a liquid propellant core stage, and a cryogenic stage, is capable of launching a four-tonne class of satellite to geosynchronous transfer orbit.

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has renamed the Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV) Mark -III as Launch Vehicle Mark-III, mainly to identify its task of placing satellites into a variety of orbits. The LVM3 rocket will also be used for India's maiden human space flight tentatively scheduled for late 2024.

India will launch its Geo Imaging Satellite (GISAT-1) with its Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV- F10) on March 5.

The Indian Space Research Organisation on Tuesday said it is scheduled to launch its geo imaging satellite ''GISAT-1'' onboard the geosynchronous satellite launch vehicle ''GSLV-F10'' on March 5.

India's heavy lift rocket Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle - Mark III (GSLV Mk III), nicknamed as 'Bahubali', and its passenger Chandrayaan-2 are being readied up.

India's most ambitious space mission yet, Chandrayaan-2, which hopes to place a robotic rover on the moon, will be launched on July 15. President Ram Nath Kovind will witness the launch of the Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle Mark-3 from India's only space port at Sriharikota.

The first images of Chandrayaan-2 satellite, Indian's ambitious moonshot, are out. The mission to the moon is getting ready for lift off on July 15 from Sriharikota using the country's most powerful rocket Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV) Mark 3.

ISRO would undertake placing heavier satellites onboard its geosynchronous launch vehicle in future following the successful launch of an advanced communications satellite.

India will be launching GSAT 7A, a military communication satellite for the Indian Air Force (IAF), on December 19 with its Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV Mk II) rocket, said Indian space agency.

When India's heaviest rocket -- nicknamed Baahubali -- soared into the sky from Andhra Pradesh's Sriharikota to place a sophisticated communications satellite in the Earth's orbit on Wednesday, it made for a pretty picture that captured the imagination of space enthusiasts the world over.
