SOLAR SYSTEM

Detailed explanation-1: -The payload fairing is separated at an altitude of 115 km and at about 217s during L110 firing.

Detailed explanation-2: -Satellite Launch Vehicle-3 (SLV-3) was India’s first experimental satellite launch vehicle, which was an all solid, four stage vehicle weighing 17 tonnes with a height of 22m and capable of placing 40 kg class payloads in Low Earth Orbit (LEO (Low Earth Orbit) ).

Detailed explanation-3: -The first stage (SS1) and third stage (SS3) of SSLV are newly developed while second stage (SS2) is derived from third stage (HPS3) of PSLV. Vehicle characteristics: Height: 34 meters. Diameter: 2 meters.

Detailed explanation-4: -Satellites need to be placed in orbit high above the Earth’s atmosphere so that the drag of the atmospheric gases doesn’t make the orbiting satellite slow down. An altitude of 100 km has been adopted by the United Nations as a working definition of where the Earth’s atmosphere ends and space begins.
