Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle



The GSLV or Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle was developed by Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) to launch INSAT-type satellites into geostationary orbit to make India less dependent on foreign rockets. The GSLV improved on the performance of the PSLV with the addition of liquid strap-on boosters and a cryogenic upper stage.
