What does ASLV mean?

ASLV stands for Augmented Satellite Launch Vehicle, also known as the Advanced Satellite Launch Vehicle. ASLV is a Small-lift launch vehicle developed by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), and now its status is retired. It has five stages of the solid-fuel rocket, and it can be used to put satellites weighing 150 kg into Low Earth Orbital (LEO). The design of ASLV is based on Satellite Launch Vehicle, and its construction was started in the early 1980s.

Brief Details

• The height of ASLV is 77 ft, and its mass is 90,000 lb. The diameter of ASLV is 1m.
• Satellite Launch Vehicle and Polar Satellite Launch Vehicles are the associated rockets with ASLV.
• The launching site of ASLV was Sriharikota, and it launched four satellites in which one was successful, two failed, and another partially failed.
• ASLV had its first flight on March 24, 1987, and its last flight on May 4, 1994.

ASLV vehicle

• There are five stages in ASLV.
• There were two strap-on boosters in the first stage, and the core stage ignited when the boosters burned out.
• ASLV had a 150 kg payload capacity, a 400 km orbit, and a 47-degree inclination.
• During liftoff of ASLV, 909.9 kN thrust was generated.

• The rocket’s weight was 90,000 lb, its diameter was 3ft 3 in, and its length was 77 ft.
• There was instability in this rocket’s flight because the height and diameter ratio was huge.
• The failure of this launch can be determined by the fact that due to the high dynamic load on the launcher, many critical events happened in the flight at Tropopause.

Launch history of ASLV

• The first launch with ASLV was done on March 24, 1987, at Satish Dhawan Space Centre. The payload for this launch was SROSS(Stretched Rohini Satellite Series) – A, and the payload mass was 150 kg. This launch turned out to be a failure.
• The second launch was done one year later, i.e. July 13, 1988, at the same launching site and with the exact launching vehicle. The payload for this launch was SROSS-B with a payload mass of 150 kg, and it also failed.
• The third launch was done on May 20, 1992, with ASLV with SROSS-C. The payload was SROSS-C, and payload was 106 kg. The final result for this launch was a partial failure.
• The fourth launch happened on May 5, 1994, with a payload of SROSS-C2. The payload weight for this was 113kg, and it turned out to be successful.
