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
The GSLV F12 is the 15th flight of the GSLV and the 9th flight of Mk2 variant using indigenous ... Launch of GSLV F12 / NVS 01 Mission is Tentatively Scheduled for ...
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.

The CE-7.5 is a cryogenic rocket engine developed by the Indian Space Research Organisation to power the upper stage of its GSLV Mk-2 launch vehicle. The engine was developed as a part of the Cryogenic Upper Stage Project (CUSP). It replaced the KVD-1 (RD-56) Russian cryogenic engine that powered the upper stage of GSLV Mk-1. [3]
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.
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°.
