 SSLV [ISRO] |
The Indian SSLV (Small Satellite Launch Vehicle) is a planned small launch vehicle serving the marked below the PSLV family.
The SSLV consists of three solid fuel stages and a bi-propellant RCS/Velocity trimming module. It has a principal diameter of 2 m and a length of 34 m with a lift-off mass of ~116 t.
The first stage of 2 m diameter might be related to the Agni-3 and -5 IRBM motors, albeit extremely lengthened, or a new design. The S-7 stage is apparently inherited from the PSLV family.
The vehicle can launch dedicated payloads or multiple satellites into low earth orbit or sun-synchronous orbit. The payload will be 300 to sun synchronous orbit (SSO) and 500 kg to low earth orbit (LEO).
