drishti ias current affairs magazines Published this article page no 67 India has two operational launchers Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) and Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV). PSLV was developed to launch lowEarth Orbit satellites into polar and sun synchronous orbits. It has since proved its versatility by launching geosynchronous lunar and interplanetary spacecraft successfully. On the other hand GSLV was developed to launch the heavier INSAT class of geosynchronous satellites into orbit. In its third and final stage GSLV uses the indigenously developed cryogenic upper stage. Different orbits 1. Geostationary orbit (GEO) 2. Low Earth orbit (LEO) 3. Medium Earth orbit (MEO) 4. Polar orbit and Sunsynchronous orbit (SSO) 5. Transfer orbits and geostationary transfer orbit (GTO) 6. Lagrange points (Lpoints) For details refer this. Did you know that the Department of Space had also set up a separate commercial arm – New Space India Limited (NSIL) – for commercial tieups with the global space market and manage technology from drishti ias current affairs magazines buy.
