  1. The launch of Chandrayaan-2, India\u2019s second moon\nmission, was aborted after a technical snag in the launch vehicle system- GSLV\nMk-III rocket. GSLV Mk-III has been touted as the most powerful rocket built by\nISRO. <\/li>
  2. The GSLV Mk-III is a three-stage rocket\ndeveloped by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). It has been\ndesigned to carry four-tonne class satellites into Geosynchronous Transfer\nOrbit (GTO) or about 10 tons to Low Earth Orbit (LEO).<\/li>
  3. The first stage consists of two strap-on tanks\nfitted to the either side of the rocket. The tanks contain solid fuel that is\nburnt, providing the initial thrust to fly the rocket out of Earth’s\natmosphere.<\/li>
  4. The second stage consists of the core booster.\nIt burns liquid fuel and is the primary source of thrust after the strap-on\ntanks detach from the rocket.<\/li>
  5. The final stage is a cryogenic engine installed\nin the top part of the GSLV Mk-III. The cryogenic upper stage provides the\nlast-mile thrust after the liquid core booster separates from the rocket.<\/li>
  6. GSLV Mk-III had two successful flights till now\u2014\na) it carried and deployed the GSAT-19 communication satellite in June 2017 and\nb) the GSAT-29 communication satellite in November 2018.<\/li>
  7. Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicles (GSLV)\nare space launch vehicle. They are used to put into geostationary orbits that\nare over 30,000 km from Earth. They use a different fuel and can carry heavier\npayloads and travel deeper into space when compared to PSLVs.<\/li>
  8. PSLVs (Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle) are also\nsatellite launch vehicles. PSLV is designed mainly to deliver the satellites\nwith lift-off mass of up to about 1750 Kg to Sun-Synchronous circular polar\norbits of 600-900 Km altitude. These orbits are also referred to as \u201cLow Earth\nOrbit (LEO). <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
