​ISRO Gears Up For Mini Rocket Launcher's Maiden Flight in May

News 18  

The Indian Space Research Organisation is all geared up for the maiden flight of its mini rocket launcher – Small Satellite Launch Vehicle – in May. The national space agency announced on Monday that it has successfully carried out the ground testing of the newly developed solid booster stage for SSLV at Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota. Designed to bolster the agency’s partnership with the private sector for the launch of commercial satellites, the SSLV’s development flight has been marred by delays, following the Covid-19 pandemic that impacted the ground work. “The development of SSLV has been primarily envisaged to bring a cost-effective launch vehicle with high launch frequency and quick turnaround capability in order to cater to the growing opportunity in the global launch services market for small satellites,” he said.
