Last minute checks could then be carried out and the rocket launched. The rocket would have been able to carry a payload of up to 550 tonnes (540 long tons; 610 short tons) or 550,000 kg (1,210,000 lb) into LEO. Payload costs, in 1963, were estimated to be between $59 and $600 per kg (roughly $500 to $5,060 per kg in 2020 dollars [5]).
This rocket was launched on October 9, 1971, from Sriharikota. It was a single-stage rocket using a solid propellant, [7] carrying a 7 kilograms (15 lb) payload to 19 kilometres (12 mi) in altitude. It flew twice between January 1970 and October 1971.

It is the largest solid-fuel booster after the SLS SRBs, the Space Shuttle SRBs and the Ariane 5 SRBs. The flex nozzles can be vectored up to ±8° by electro-hydraulic actuators with a capacity of 294 kilonewtons (66,000 lb f ) using hydro-pneumatic pistons operating in blow-down mode by high pressure oil and nitrogen.
