The GSLV-F15, carrying the NVS-02 satellite, lifted off from the spaceport's second launch pad at 06:23 IST. The satellite was injected into a geostationary transfer orbit (GTO) 19 minutes after launch from Sriharikota. [2] [3] [4] It was the First mission undertaken by newly appointed ISRO chairman Dr. V Narayanan. [5]
The first GSLV flight, GSLV-D1 used the L40 stage. Subsequent flights of the GSLV used high pressure engines in the strap-on boosters called the L40H. [17] The GSLV uses four L40H liquid strap-on boosters derived from the L37.5 second stage, which are loaded with 42.6 tons of hypergolic propellants (UDMH and N 2 O 4). The propellants are stored ...
This was the first developmental flight of the GSLV Mk.I featuring Russian cryogenic engine KVD-1.It was used to place an experimental satellite GSAT-1 into the orbit. . However, due to sub-optimal performance and lack of fuel the vehicle did not achieve the intended orbit and the satellite had to maneuver itself using onboard fuel to correct the sho
Launch of GSLV F12 / NVS 01 Mission is Tentatively Scheduled for Monday, 29th May 2023 at 0512 hrs UTC from Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Second Launch pad, Sriharikota Andhra Pradesh, India as Per Notam . [3]
CE-20 is the first cryogenic engine developed by India which uses a gas generator, as compared to the staged combustion engines used in GSLV. [53] In LVM3-M3 mission, a new white coloured C25 stage was introduced which has more environmental-friendly manufacturing processes, better insulation properties and the use of lightweight materials. [54]
The satellite was launched via the GSLV-F14 rocket on 17 February 2024 at 17:35 IST (12:05 UTC). [2] This was the first time the extended version of Cryogenic upper stage of the GSLV rocket, CUS-15 was flown with environment friendly white fairing. [5] Five days later, all four planned Liquid Apogee Motor (LAM) firings were completed.
The flight marked India's forty-first satellite launch, the eighth launch of a GSLV, and the second flight of the Mk.II variant, whose maiden flight with GSAT-4 had failed in 2010. It ended a run of four consecutive GSLV launch failures which began with INSAT-4C in 2006. [ 14 ]
GSAT-1 failed to achieve its target orbit, which prevented it from fulfilling its primary communications mission. The 1.54-tonne satellite was orbiting with a period of 23 hours two minutes, instead of the planned 24-hour geosynchronous orbit, only permitting a limited series of experiments to be conducted, including digital audio broadcasting and compressed digital TV signal transmission.
