The Satellite Launch Vehicle or SLV was a small-lift launch vehicle project started in the early 1970s by the Indian Space Research Organisation to develop the technology needed to launch satellites. SLV was intended to reach a height of 400 kilometres (250 mi) and carry a payload of 40 kg (88 lb) . [ 2 ]
The Boeing Small Launch Vehicle, or SLV, is an air-launched three-stage-to-orbit launch vehicle concept aimed to launch small payloads of 100 pounds (45 kg) into low Earth orbit. The program is proposed to drive down launch costs for small satellites as low as US$ 300,000 per launch ($7,000/kg) and could be fielded by 2020.
The Small Satellite Launch Vehicle (SSLV) is a small-lift launch vehicle developed by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) to deliver 500 kg (1,100 lb) payload to low Earth orbit (500 km (310 mi)) or 300 kg (660 lb) payload to Sun-synchronous orbit (500 km (310 mi)). [7]
A small-lift launch vehicle is a rocket orbital launch vehicle that is capable of lifting 2,000 kilograms (4,400 lb) or less (by NASA classification) or under 5,000 kilograms (11,000 lb) (by Roscosmos classification) [1] of payload into low Earth orbit (LEO).

Vanguard Satellite Launch Vehicle-5 (SLV-5) was designed to place two satellites in orbit, Vanguard 3A, a 33 cm (13 in) of diameter sphere (Sphere A) equipped with a magnetometer, and a 76.2 cm (30.0 in) of diameter aluminum-coated round inflatable sphere (Sphere B), containing no instrumentation, but an air density measurement device, for optical tracking.
The SLV-6 satellite was a 10.8 kg (24 lb), 50.8 cm (20.0 in) of diameter sphere. The shell was composed of magnesium alloy and the interior was pressurized. The payload instrumentation package was mounted in the center of the sphere.
These modifications opened to the SLV new fields of application and attracted other photographers from Italy and abroad. The SLV was substituted by the T30 camera in 1997, The T30, having 30 mm of shift movement, was more suitable to the new lenses with lager image circle that were introduced on the market in that period. The T30 is still in ...
