The PSLV, manufactured by Indian Space Research Organization established in 1969, undertook its inaugural launch on 09/20/1993, is non-reusable and is active.
PSLV has 10 successful launches and 2 failed attempts, with a cumulative tally of 12 launches, currently with 2 pending launches in the pipeline.
The 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).
