Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle/Number of stages
Who setup ISRO?
India decided to go to space when Indian National Committee for Space Research (INCOSPAR) was set up by the Government of India in 1962. With the visionary Dr Vikram Sarabhai at its helm, INCOSPAR set up the Thumba Equatorial Rocket Launching Station (TERLS) in Thiruvananthapuram for upper atmospheric research.
What is PSLV XL?
India’s Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle, in its forty-third flight (PSLV-C41) in XL configuration launched IRNSS-1I Satellite from First Launch Pad (FLP) of SDSC SHAR, Sriharikota. The ‘XL’ configuration of PSLV is used for the twentieth time.
WHO launched PSLV?
India launches earth observation satellite EOS-01, nine other satellites. The Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV-C49) lifted off from the first launch pad at the Satish Dhawan Space Centre at 3.12 PM at the end of a 26 hour countdown and injected the satellites into orbit one after another 20 minutes later.
Who invented a rocket?

What is PSLV (PSLV)?
PSLV is an expendable medium-lift launch vehicle designed and operated by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). It is the third generation launch vehicle of India. It is the first Indian launch vehicle to be equipped with liquid stages.
How much payload can a PSLV launch?
It can take up to 1,750 kg of payload to Sun-Synchronous Polar Orbits of 600 km altitude. Due to its unmatched reliability, PSLV has also been used to launch various satellites into Geosynchronous and Geostationary orbits, like satellites from the IRNSS constellation.
It is the first launch vehicle of India that has liquid stages. There is a total of 4 stages in this launch vehicle. First Stage – PS 1 – PSLV uses the S139 solid rocket motor that is augmented by 6 solid strap-on boosters.
What is the pslv-c51 mission?
PSLV-C51 is the 53rd flight of PSLV and 3rd flight of PSLV in ‘DL’ configuration (with 2 strap-on motors). This was the 78th launch vehicle mission from SDSC SHAR, Sriharikota. With today’s launch, the total number of customer satellites from foreign countries placed in orbit by PSLV is 342 satellites from 34 countries.
