Launchers or Launch Vehicles are used to carry spacecraft to space. India has two operational launchers: Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) and Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV).
GSLV with indigenous Cryogenic Upper Stage has enabled the launching up to 2 tonne class of communication satellites. The next variant of GSLV is GSLV Mk III, with indigenous high thrust cryogenic engine and stage, having the capability of launching 4 tonne class of communication satellites.
In order to achieve high accuracy in placing satellites into their orbits, a combination of accuracy, efficiency, power and immaculate planning are required. ISRO’s Launch Vehicle Programme spans numerous centres and employs over 5,000 people.
Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre, located in Thiruvananthapuram, is responsible for the design and development of launch vehicles. Liquid Propulsion Systems Centre and ISRO Propulsion Complex, located at Valiamala and Mahendragiri respectively, develop the liquid and cryogenic stages for these launch vehicles.
Satish Dhawan Space Centre, SHAR, is the space port of India and is responsible for integration of launchers. It houses two operational launch pads from where all GSLV and PSLV flights take place.

In a bizarre attempt, a man has been arrested for entering the premises of the Air Force Station in Delhi, posing as an officer. The man identified as Gaurav is a resident of Aligarh. The accused entered the Air Force Station on July 22, India Today reported.
The accused was caught while trying to enter the strategically sensitive compound. The accused was stopped at the entry gate for an ID check. When he failed to give satisfactory answers to the security officials, they became suspicious of him.
During the interrogation, he disclosed that he had entered the Air force station in order to take a selfie in uniform at the security establishment.
He did so to impress his girlfriend, who did not believe him to be an officer in the IAF. The accused has been put in police custody at Tuglaq Road Police station and a case has been registered against him under sections 140, 170, 171, 449 and 447.
Similarly, a 20-year-old man was arrested a year ago from southwest Delhi’s Dwakra area for allegedly posing as a sub-inspector of Uttar Pradesh Police to impress his girlfriend. The accused was identified as Ajay, a resident of Mathura in UP.
The police found two ID cards of UP Police along with one set of police uniform during investigation, NDTV reported. “A case has been registered at Dwarka South police station. During interrogation, it was found that the accused was a water supplier and was working in the Sahabad Mohamadpur area.
