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 ...
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]
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
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]
This family of three launchers was previously being designed for replacing the different core propulsion modules of PSLV, GSLV, and LVM3 respectively with a common semi-cryogenic engine and hence it was named as Unified Launch Vehicle (ULV). [12]
After its launch into Geo-synchronous transfer orbit by GSLV-D2, GSAT-2 it was taken to its final geo-stationary orbit by firing the liquid apogee motor in phases.After it reached the geo-stationary orbit, its antenna and solar Panels were deployed and the satellite was finally placed in its allocated slot of 48° east longitude.
GSLV F08 launch from SLP. GSLV-F08 carrying GSAT-6A spacecraft was launched from Second Launch Pad of Satish Dhawan Space Centre on 29 March 2018, 11:26 UTC and after flight of 17 minutes 45 seconds, [10] placed GSAT-6A into its planned geostationary transfer orbit with 36,692.5 kilometres (22,799.7 mi) apogee, 169.4 kilometres (105.3 mi) perigee and orbital inclination of 20.64°.
