What is ELV and RLV?
A Reusable launch vehicle (RLV) (Figure 1) refers to a vehicle which can be used for several missions. Once when a RLV completes a mission, it returns to the earth and can be used again whereas the Expendable Launch Vehicles (ELV) can be used only once.
What is called space travel?
Spaceflight (or space flight) is an application of astronautics to fly spacecraft into or through outer space, either with or without humans on board.
What is rocket launch?
Rockets work by expelling hot exhaust that acts in the same way as the basketball. The exhaust’s gas molecules don’t weigh much individually, but they exit the rocket’s nozzle very fast, giving them a lot of momentum. As a result, the rocket moves in the opposite direction of the exhaust with the same total oomph.
What is the full form of PSLV?
Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) is the third generation launch vehicle of India. It is the first Indian launch vehicle to be equipped with liquid stages.
What is a space rocket?
A space rocket is a vehicle with a very powerful jet engine designed to carry people or equipment beyond Earth and out into space. If we define space as the region outside Earth’s atmosphere, that means there’s not enough oxygen to fuel the kind of conventional engine you’d find on a jet plane.
What is NASA SLS rocket?
NASA’s Space Launch System, or SLS, is a super-heavy-lift launch vehicle that provides the foundation for human exploration beyond Earth’s orbit. With its unprecedented power and capabilities, SLS is the only rocket that can send Orion, astronauts, and cargo to the Moon on a single mission.
What is expendable rocket?
An expendable launch system (or expendable launch vehicle/ELV) is a launch vehicle that can be launched only once, after which its components are either destroyed during reentry or discarded in space.
What is expendable payload?
An expendable launch system is a launch system that uses an expendable launch vehicle (ELV) to carry a payload into space. The vehicles used in expendable launch systems are designed to be used only once (i.e. they are “expended” during a single flight), and their components are not recovered for re-use after launch.

About the Launch Vehicle. Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) is the third generation launch vehicle of India. It is the first Indian launch vehicle to be equipped with liquid stages. After its first successful launch in October 1994, PSLV emerged as the reliable and versatile workhorse launch vehicle of India with 39 consecutively successful…
What type of rocket engine is used in PSLV?
The third stage of PSLV is a solid rocket motor that provides the upper stages high thrust after the atmospheric phase of the launch. Second Stage: PS2 PSLV uses an Earth storable liquid rocket engine for its second stage, know as the Vikas engine, developed by Liquid Propulsion Systems Centre. First Stage: PS1
What is polar satellite launch vehicle (PSLV)?
PSLV C6 Launch in 2005 Placed Cartosat 1 and Hamsat into Sun Synchronous Orbit India’s Space Research Organization (ISRO) introduced the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) series in 1993.
Why did the PSLV launch fail?
The first PSLV launch, in 1993, failed due to a software guidance error. The second flight one year later successfully boosted India’s IRS-P2 Earth resource monitoring satellite into an 820 km x 98.7 degree sun synchronous orbit.
