The '''Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle''', commonly known by its abbreviation '''PSLV''', is an [[expendable launch system]] developed and operated by the [[Indian Space Research Organisation]] (ISRO). It was developed to allow India to launch its [[Indian Remote Sensing satellite|Indian Remote Sensing]] (IRS) satellites into [[Sun synchronous orbit|Sun-synchronous orbit]]s, a service that was, until the advent of the PSLV, commercially available only from [[Russia]]. PSLV can also launch small size satellites into [[geostationary transfer orbit]] (GTO).<ref name = "ISRO Launch Vehiles">{{Cite web | url=http://www.isro.org/Launchvehicles/launchvehicles.aspx | title=Welcome To ISRO :: Launch Vehicles | accessdate=2014-04-08}}</ref>

In 2015 India successfully launched 17 foreign satellites belonging to [[Canada]], [[Indonesia]], [[Singapore]], the [[United Kingdom]] and the [[United States]]. Some notable payloads launched by PSLV include India's first lunar probe [[Chandrayaan-1]], India's first [[interplanetary mission]], [[Mangalyaan]] (Mars orbiter) and India's first space [[observatory]], [[Astrosat]].<ref name="pslv">{{Cite web | url=http://www.isro.gov.in/launchers/pslv | title= Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle | accessdate=2014-12-21}}</ref>

==Development==
PSLV was designed and developed in the early 1990s at [[Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre]] near [[Thiruvananthapuram]], [[Kerala]]. The inertial systems are developed by [[ISRO Inertial Systems Unit]] (IISU) at Thiruvananthapuram. The liquid propulsion stages for the second and fourth stages of PSLV as well as the reaction control systems are developed by the [[Liquid Propulsion Systems Centre]] (LPSC) at [[Mahendragiri]] near [[Tirunelveli]], [[Tamil Nadu]]. The solid [[propellant motor]]s are processed at [[Satish Dhawan Space Centre]] (SHAR)at [[Sriharikota]], [[Andhra Pradesh]] which also carries out launch operations.
 
The PSLV was first launched on 20 September 1993. The first and second stages performed as expected, but an [[attitude control]] problem led to the collision of the second and third stages at separation, and the payload failed to reach orbit.<ref>{{cite web |title=India (Launchers) |url=http://claudelafleur.qc.ca/Indians-launchers.html|website=Spacecraft Encyclopedia|accessdate=12 November 2014}}</ref> After this initial setback, the PSLV successfully completed its second mission in 1994.<ref>{{cite web|title=PSLV (1)|url=http://space.skyrocket.de/doc_lau_det/pslv_1.htm|website=Gunter's Space Page|accessdate=12 November 2014}}</ref> The fourth launch of PSLV suffered a partial failure in 1997, leaving its payload in a lower than planned orbit. Since then, the PSLV has launched 34 times with no further failures.<ref>{{cite web|title=PSLV|url=http://space.skyrocket.de/doc_lau/pslv.htm|website=Gunter's Space Page|accessdate=12 November 2014}}</ref>

PSLV continues to support Indian and foreign satellite launches especially for [[low Earth orbit]] (LEO) satellites. It has undergone several improvements with each subsequent version, especially those involving thrust, efficiency as well as weight. In November 2013, it was used to launch the [[Mars Orbiter Mission]], India's first interplanetary probe.<ref>{{Cite web | url=http://www.isro.org/satellites/mars-orbiter-spacecraft.aspx | title=Welcome To ISRO :: Mars Orbiter Mission | accessdate=2014-04-08}}</ref>

==Vehicle description==

The PSLV has four stages using solid and liquid propulsion systems alternately. The first stage, one of the largest [[solid-fuel rocket|solid rocket motors]] in the world, carries 138 tonnes of [[hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene|hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene urethane]]-bound (HTPB) propellant and develops a maximum thrust of about 4,800&nbsp;kN. The 2.8-m diameter motor case is made of [[maraging steel]] and has an empty mass of 30,200&nbsp;kg.<ref name=sf101>{{cite web|title=PSLV Launch Vehicle Information|url=http://www.spaceflight101.com/pslv-launch-vehicle-information.html|website=Spaceflight 101|accessdate=February 2015}}</ref> [[Pitch (flight)|Pitch]] and [[Yaw (rotation)|yaw]] control during first stage flight is provided by the Secondary Injection Thrust Vector Control System (SITVC), which injects an aqueous solution of [[strontium]] perchlorate into the nozzle to produce asymmetric thrust. The solution is stored in two cylindrical [[aluminium]] tanks strapped to the solid rocket motor and pressurised with nitrogen. [[Roll program|Roll]] control is provided by two small liquid engines on opposite sides of the stage, the Roll Control Thrusters (RCT).

On the PSLV and PSLV-XL, first stage thrust is augmented by six strap-on solid boosters. Four boosters are ground-lit and the remaining two ignite 25 seconds after launch. In the standard PSLV, each booster carries nine tonnes of propellant and produces 510&nbsp;kN thrust. The PSLV-XL uses larger boosters which carry 12 tonnes of propellant and produce 719&nbsp;kN thrust. Two strap-on boosters are equipped with [[SITVC]] for additional attitude control.<ref name=sf101/> The PSLV-CA uses no strap-on boosters.

The second stage employs the [[Vikas (rocket engine)|Vikas]] engine and carries 41.5 tonnes (40 tonnes till C-5 mission) of liquid propellant{{spaced ndash}}[[unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine]] (UDMH) as fuel and [[nitrogen tetroxide]] (N<sub>2</sub>O<sub>4</sub>) as oxidiser. It generates a maximum thrust of 800&nbsp;kN (724 till C-5 mission). The engine is hydraulically gimbaled (±4°) to provide pitch and yaw control, while roll control is provided by two hot gas reaction control motors.

The third stage uses 7 tonnes of [[HTPB]]-based solid propellant and produces a maximum thrust of 240&nbsp;kN. It has a [[Kevlar]]-[[polyamide]] fibre case and a submerged nozzle equipped with a flex-bearing-seal gimbaled nozzle (±2°) thrust-vector engine for pitch & yaw control. Roll control is provided by the fourth stage [[reaction control system]] (RCS).<ref name=sf101/>

The fourth stage is powered by twin engines burning [[monomethylhydrazine]] (MMH) and [[mixed oxides of nitrogen]] (MON). Each engine generates 7.4&nbsp;kN thrust and is gimbaled (±3°) to provide pitch, yaw & roll control during powered flight. Coast phase [[attitude control]] is provided by RCS. The stage carries 2,500&nbsp;kg of propellant in the PSLV and PSLV-XL and 2,100&nbsp;kg in the PSLV-CA.<ref name="sport"/>

PSLV is developed with a group of wide-range control units.

===Variants===
ISRO has envisaged a number of variants of PSLV to cater to different mission requirements. There are currently three operational versions of the PSLV — the standard (PSLV), the core-alone (PSLV-CA) without the six strap-on booster motors, and the (PSLV-XL) version, which carries more solid fuel in its strap-on motors than the standard version.<ref name=hi>{{cite news |url=http://www.thehindu.com/sci-tech/science/article2230282.ece |title=The PSLV is a proud symbol of ISRO's self-reliance | location=Chennai, India | work=The Hindu |first=T.S. |last=Subramanian |date=15 July 2011}}</ref> These configurations provide wide variations in payload capabilities ranging from 3800&nbsp;kg in LEO to 1800&nbsp;kg in [[Sun-synchronous orbit]].

; PSLV-G  (Operational)

The standard version of the PSLV ('''PSLV-G''') has four stages using solid and liquid propulsion systems alternately and six strap-on boosters. It currently has capability to launch 1,678&nbsp;kg to 622&nbsp;km into Sun-synchronous orbit.

; PSLV-CA (Operational)

The '''PSLV-CA''', CA meaning "Core Alone", model premiered on 23 April 2007. The CA model does not include the six strap-on boosters used by the PSLV standard variant. Two small roll control modules and two first-stage motor control injection tanks were still attached to the side of the first stage.<ref name="sport">{{cite web |url=http://www.spacelaunchreport.com/pslv.html |title=PSLV Datasheet}}</ref> The fourth stage of the CA variant has 400&nbsp;kg less propellant when compared to its standard version.<ref name="sport" /> It currently has capability to launch 1,100&nbsp;kg to 622&nbsp;km Sun synchronous orbit.<ref name="versions">{{cite web |url=http://www.earth2orbit.com/pdf/PSLV.PDF |title=India's PSLV}}</ref>

; PSLV-XL (Operational)

'''PSLV-XL''' is the uprated version of Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle in its standard configuration boosted by more powerful, stretched strap-on boosters.<ref name="sport" /> Weighing 320 tonnes at lift-off, the vehicle uses larger strap-on motors (PSOM-XL) to achieve higher payload capability. [[PSOM-XL]] uses larger 1-metre diameter, 13.5m length motors, and carries 12 tonnes of solid propellants instead of 9 tonnes used in the earlier configuration of PSLV.<ref name="Chandrayaan_1_Launch">[http://isro.org/pressrelease/Oct22_2008.htm PSLV-C11 Successfully Launches Chandrayaan-1]</ref> On 29 December 2005, ISRO successfully tested the improved version of strap-on booster for the PSLV. The first version of PSLV-XL was the launch of [[Chandrayaan-1]] by PSLV C11. The payload capability for this variant is 1800&nbsp;kg compared to 1600&nbsp;kg for the other variants.<ref name="versions" /> Other launches include the [[RISAT]] Radar Imaging Satellite and [[GSAT-12]].<ref>

==Notable flights==

===PSLV flight D1===
{{main article|PSLV-D1}}
This was the first developmental flight of the [[PSLV-D1]].<ref name="D1"/> The IRS-1E satellite which was proposed to be launched was derived from the engineering model of IRS-1A incorporating a similar camera and an additional German-built monocular electro-optical stereo scanner. Even though the [[#IRS 1E|mission was a failure]], the launch team and an expert committee appointed thereafter noted that the mission had validated many technologies and that most sub-systems had performed optimally.<ref name="yuga">{{cite web |url=http://spaceyuga.com/pslv-polar-satellite-launch-vehicle |title=Space Yuga}}</ref><ref name="spacecraft">{{cite web |url=http://claudelafleur.qc.ca/Indians-launchers.html |title=Space Craft Encyclopedia}}</ref>

===PSLV flight C22===
Earlier launch date for PSLV C22 was fixed as 12 June 2013 (1.01AM) but the launch had been postponed because of a technical snag in the 2nd stage.<ref>{{cite news | url=http://newindianexpress.com/states/karnataka/Technical-snag-puts-off-satellite-launch/2013/06/02/article1616162.ece | title=Technical snag puts off satellite launch| accessdate=2 June 2013}}</ref>

The launch of the first satellite in the [[Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System]] of the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), scheduled for 12 June 2013 from Sriharikota, has been postponed by 14 days after an anomaly was discovered just 11 days before launch. The satellite IRNSS-1A, which would be the first in a series of seven navigation satellites was scheduled to be launched on board the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) C22 at 1.01 am on 12 June. The satellite has undergone its pre-launch checks successfully. However, ISRO said the launch vehicle had an anomaly in one electro-hydraulic control actuators. "During the electrical checks of the launch vehicle, an anomaly was observed in one of the electro-hydraulic control actuators in the second stage. It has been decided to replace this [[actuator]]," a statement by ISRO said. Officials added that the replacement of the actuator would take two weeks and it would be carried out at the launch pad and vehicle assembly area.

ISRO then replaced a faulty component in the PSLV C22 rocket and rescheduled the flight of the [[IRNSS-1]]A satellite on it for 11:41&nbsp;p.m. on 1 July 2013.<ref>{{cite news | url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/indigenous-navigation-satellite-set-to-fly-on-july-1/article4812295.ece | title=It is the Indian equivalent of the GPS satellite| accessdate=14 June 2013}}</ref> PSLV C22, successfully launched IRNSS-1A, the first satellite in the [[Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System]] (IRNSS).

At the completion of the countdown, PSLV C22 lifted off from the First Launch Pad at 23:41 hrs (IST) on 1 July 2013 with the ignition of the first stage and four strap-on motors of the launch vehicle.<ref name="IRNSS-1" />

The [[Mars Orbiter Mission]] (MOM), informally called ''Mangalyaan'' is a Mars orbiter that was successfully injected into Earth orbit on 5 November 2013 at 2:38 PM IST (9:08 UTC) atop a PSLV-XL launch vehicle from Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Sriharikota (SHAR).

===PSLV flight C29===
PSLV C29 lifted off from the First Launch Pad (FLP) of SDSC SHAR at 18:00 hrs [IST] on 16 December 2015. It successfully deployed six satellites it carried with gross weight of 624&nbsp;kg. After fourth stage engines were cut off primary payload TeLEOS-1 was injected in orbit at about 18 min 12 seconds after lift-off. This was followed by the deployment of other five satellites, namely Kent Ridge-1, VELOX-C1, VELOX-II, Galassia and Athenoxat-1 in quick succession in the subsequent three minutes.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.isro.gov.in/update/16-dec-2015/pslv-successfully-launches-six-satellites-singapore |title=PSLV Successfully Launches Six Satellites from Singapore}}</ref> 67 minutes into flight fourth stage re-ignition capability was demonstrated successfully by firing its engines for duration of nearly five seconds.

==Launch failures==

=== [[IRS-1E]] ===
On 20 September 1993 a PSLV D1, the first developmental flight rocket, failed during launch. A significant attitude disturbance occurred during second to third-stage separation, causing the [[attitude control]] command to exceed its maximum value. Because of the [[programming error]] in the pitch control loop of the digital [[autopilot]] software in the guidance and control processor, the required reversal of command polarity did not take place, causing the pitch loop to become unstable, resulted in loss of [[attitude control]] and failure to achieve orbit. The [[attitude control]] disturbance was traced to failure of one of the [[retro rockets]] designed to pull the burnt second stage away from the third stage. The vehicle crashed into the [[Bay of Bengal]] 700 seconds after take off.<ref name="spacecraft" />

=== [[IRS-1D]] ===
On 29 September 1997 a PSLV C1 rocket failed during launch. Anomalous interaction between the primary and secondary [[pressure regulator]]s of the fourth stage caused a reduction in propellant flow and thrust after 250 seconds of burn time. As a result, the fourth stage was shut down by a software override timer after burning 435 seconds, before reaching the target orbit or depleting propellant. The injection velocity was 140&nbsp;m/s low, resulting in an orbit of 301 x 823&nbsp;km instead of the planned 817&nbsp;km circular SSO.<ref>International reference guide to space launch systems, Fourth Edition, p. 334, {{ISBN|1-56347-591-X}}</ref>  Initially, a leak of [[helium]] gas from one of the components in the fourth stage was suspected,<ref name="Front Line">{{cite web |url=http://www.frontlineonnet.com/fl1421/14210510.htm |title=Front Line}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.spacelaunchreport.com/slvfail.txt|title=India (SLV/ASLV/PSLV/GSLV) Flight History by Variant/Year (1979-2010)|first=Ed|last=Kyle|work=Space Launch Report}}</ref> similar to recent [[Long March 3]] launch failure, but later ruled out. Resulting orbit was partially corrected using satellite's on-board thrusters, thereby raising the perigee to 737&nbsp;km, while the apogee remained at 821&nbsp;km.<ref name="spacecraft"/>
