What is PSLV?
- indigenously-developed expendable launch system of the ISRO.
- can reach upto Geo Synchronous Transfer Orbit, Lower Earth Orbit, and Polar Sun Synchronous Orbit.
- all it’s operations are controlled from the Satish Dhawan Space Center, Sriharikota
PSLV v/s GSLV
- PSLV was developed to launch low-Earth Orbit satellites into polar and sun synchronous orbitS
- GSLV was developed to launch the heavier INSAT class of geosynchronous satellites into orbit.In its third and final stage, GSLV uses the indigenously developed cryogenic upper stage.

above Earth’s equator and following the direction of Earth’s rotation is geostationary orbit
What is a geosynchronous orbit?
In a geosynchronous orbit, a satellite orbits Earth at the same speed as the planet is turning, enabling it to stay in place over a single location i.e.is in sync with earth hence geosynchronous
What is a polar orbit?
satellite passes above both poles
What is a transfer orbit?
Intermediate elliptical orbit that is used to move a satellite from one circular orbit to another.
