Differences between PSLV and GSLV Rocket Launching Vehicles


The PSLV and GSLV differences are stated below and full details of two launching vehicles are given.

Polar Satellite Launching Vehicle  (PSLV)


* PSLV Means derives the full form  Polar Satellite Launching Vehicle

* PSLV can lift off mass upto 1750 kgs satellites

* PSLV can launch the satellites into polar orbits around 600 to 900 kms altitude

* PSLV used for delivering the remote sensing and earth's observation 

* PSLV can lift upto 1400 kgs into elliptical Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit

* PSLV has four stages ,the first and third stages are solid state fuels,the second and fourth stages are liquid stage fuels.

GSLV(Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle )


* GSLV Means derives the full form Geosynchronous Satellite Launching Vehicle

* GSLV can lift upto more than 2500 kgs satellites

* GSLV used for delivering communication satellites

* GSLV can lift upto 5000 kgs satellites into Lower Earth Orbit

* GSLV permenantly fixed in the earth's orbit

* GSLV has three stages first stage is solid motor,second stage is liquid stage and third stage is Cryogenic engine.
