What is the work of SLV-3?
SLV-3 employed an open loop guidance (with stored pitch programme) to steer the vehicle in flight along a pre-determined trajectory. The first experimental flight of SLV-3, in August 1979, was only partially successful.
Why did SLV-3 fail?
The control rocket failed to take over, as expected, due to the failure of one of its components. The burn out of the third stage rocket took place at 165 seconds, but the spin up and ignition of the stage-4 and injection of payload into orbit could not take place, as the SLV-3 plummeted to a watery deathbed.
What was the intended target by first SLV and its payload?
The Satellite Launch Vehicle or SLV was a small-lift launch vehicle project started in the early 1970s by the Indian Space Research Organisation to develop the technology needed to launch satellites. SLV was intended to reach a height of 400 kilometres (250 mi) and carry a payload of 40 kg (88 lb).
Which missile was tested on the day of 44 independence?
Agni-V (lit: “Fire”) is an Indian nuclear-capable intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation. The missile is believed to have a range of around 5,000 to 8,000 km.
Who headed the SLV project of ISRO in 1970?
J Abdul kalam
J Abdul kalam was the head of the Satellite Launch Vehicle project launched by ISRO in 1970. The first launch took place in Sriharikota on 10 August 1979. Dr A. P. J Abdul kalam served as the 11th President of India.

Kalam had to face the first-ever failure in his life. While working on an important project, the principal decided to check up on his progress suddenly. The principal felt dissatisfied as he had expected more than delivered. He then gave an ultimatum to Dr.
What is the purpose of PSLV?
PSLV earned its title ‘the Workhorse of ISRO’ through consistently delivering various satellites to Low Earth Orbits, particularly the IRS series of satellites. It can take up to 1,750 kg of payload to Sun-Synchronous Polar Orbits of 600 km altitude.
What are the 3 stages of a rocket?
Stages of a Rocket Launch
- Primary Stage. The primary stage of a rocket is the first rocket engine to engage, providing the initial thrust to send the rocket skyward.
- Secondary Stage. After the primary stage has fallen away, the next rocket engine engages to continue the rocket on its trajectory.
- Payload.
What is a full form of ASLV?
The Augmented Satellite Launch Vehicle (ASLV) Programme was designed to augment the payload capacity to 150 kg, thrice that of SLV-3, for Low Earth Orbits (LEO).
