ISRO The first SSLV was launched on August 7, 2022, carrying two satellites — one Earth observation satellite and one CubeSat full of payloads built by schoolchildren.

As its name indicates, the SSLV is designed to launch relatively small satellites; the rocket can loft up to 1,100 pounds (500 kg) to low Earth orbit (LEO), according to ISRO officials.

The Indian space agency ISRO has debuted a new satellite-deploying rocket, the Small Satellite Launch Vehicle or SSLV, with a launch from Sriharikota, India on Sunday, August 7 at 09:18 am local time.

The SSLV is a three-stage rocket standing 111 feet (34 meters) tall and with the capacity to lift upwards of 1,100 pounds (500 kilograms) to low Earth orbit. According to the ISRO, SSLV ...

ISRO developed the SSLV with a payload capacity of 500 kilograms (1,100 pounds) to mid-inclination low Earth orbit, or LEO, and 300 kilograms (660 pounds) to sun-synchronous orbit.

The ISRO on Sunday said the satellites onboard its maiden Small Satellite Launch Vehicle "are no longer usable" after the SSLV-D1 placed them in an elliptical orbit instead of a circular one.

The SSLV project, in particular, marks the beginning of HAL’s ambition to design, adapt, and one day build rockets of its own. “It’s a journey,” said Sunil.

The SSLV, developed by the Indian Space Research Organisation, is a low-cost vehicle capable of deploying satellites of up to 500 kg (1,100 pounds) into low-Earth orbit, or LEO - the most sought ...

SSLV uses a newly-developed inertial navigation system -- MEMS Inertial Navigation System or MINS-6S -- consisting of six MEMS gyros (for measuring rotation rates) and six Ceramic Servo ...

The SSLV is a four-stage rocket that stands 112 feet (34 meters) tall. It's capable of delivering up to 1,100 pounds (500 kilograms) to low Earth orbit, according to an ISRO description.

India's Small Satellite Launch Vehicle (SSLV) put three satellites into low Earth orbit Feb. 9, 2023. It was the rocket's first successful launch following last year's failed debut.
