Source<\/strong>-This post on GSLV rocket nicknamed \u2018naughty boy\u2019<\/strong> has been created based on the article “ISRO\u2019s latest launch: Why is the GSLV rocket nicknamed \u2018naughty boy<\/a>\u2019<\/strong>?” published in “The Indian Express”<\/strong> on 19 February 2024.<\/p>\n

Why in the news?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Indian Space Research Organisation\u2019s meteorological satellite, INSAT-3DS, was successfully placed into its intended orbit by Geosynchronous Launch Vehicle F14 (GSLV-F14). GSLV rocket has been nicknamed as ‘naughty boy’.<\/p>\n

About Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Introduction <\/strong>-GSLV is a space launch vehicle designed, developed, and operated by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO)<\/span> to launch satellites and other space objects into Geosynchronous Transfer Orbits<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Objective<\/strong>– GSLV has been designed for launching communication satellites<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Direction of launch<\/strong>– Geosynchronous satellites are launched into orbit in the same direction of Earth’s spin and can have any<\/span> inclination. The satellites in the geosynchronous orbits appear to remain permanently fixed<\/span> in the same position in the sky.<\/p>\n

Capacity<\/strong>– GSLV has the capability to put a heavier payload<\/span> in orbit than the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV).<\/p>\n

Number of stages<\/strong>– It is a three-stage<\/span> launcher with strap-on motors.<\/p>\n

Why is the GSLV rocket called \u2018naughty boy\u2019?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

It has been nicknamed as naughty boy due to its high rate of failure, compared to other rockets.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>4 out of 15 previous launches with this rocket have been unsuccessful.<\/p>\n

On the other hand,<\/span> PSLV rocket<\/span>, the rocket that ISRO has used the maximum number of times, has failed only twice in its 60 launches<\/span>. The LVM3 rocket has flown seven times<\/span> and has never failed.<\/p>\n

What are problems with GSLV?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The problems have mainly been with the cryogenic engine that powers the third<\/span> and final stage<\/span> of the flight. The GSLV uses a cryogenic engine, that has been reverse-engineered<\/span> on a Russian design. The need for reverse-engineering arose due to Russia’s inability to transfer cryogenic technology because of USA’s stiff opposition.<\/p>\n

It is this reverse-engineered cryogenic engine<\/span>, used in the GSLV rockets, that has led to failures of the missions in the recent past.<\/p>\n
