RocketPSLVLength: 44 meters Diameter: 2.8 meters First Launch: September 20, 1993The Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) is an expendable medium-lift launch vehicle designed and operated by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). It was developed to allow India to launch its Indian Remote Sensing (IRS) satellites into sun-synchronous orbits, a service that was, until the advent of the PSLV in 1993, commercially available only from Russia. PSLV can also launch small size satellites into Geostationary Transfer Orbit (GTO).The PSLV rocket has been launched a total of 2 times with 2 successful and 0 failed launches.
