The Small Satellite Launch Vehicle (SSLV) is a small-lift launch vehicle developed by the ISRO with payload capacity to deliver 500 kg (1,100 lb) to low Earth orbit (500 km (310 mi)) or 300 kg (660 lb) to Sun-synchronous orbit (500 km (310 mi)) [114] for launching small satellites, with the capability to support multiple orbital drop-offs.
Bhaskara (satellites) Bhaskara-I and -II were two satellites built by the Indian Space Research Organisation that formed India's first low-Earth orbit Earth observation satellite.

Ariane-5. Centre Spatial Guyanais, Kourou. GSAT-16 is the twenty fourth communication satellite of India configured to carry a total of 48 transponders (12 Ku, 24 C and 12 Cue, each with a bandwidth of 36 MHz[262]), which was the highest number of transponders in a single satellite at that time.
Vikram Sarabhai. Vikram Ambalal Sarabhai (12 August 1919 – 30 December 1971) was an Indian physicist and astronomer who initiated space research and helped to develop nuclear power in India. Often regarded as the " Father of Indian space program ", [2] Sarabhai was honored with Padma Bhushan in 1966 and the Padma Vibhushan (posthumously) in 1972.
Following the successful demonstration flights of Bhaskara-1 and Bhaskara-2 satellites launched in 1979 and 1981, respectively, India began to develop the indigenous Indian Remote Sensing (IRS) satellite program to support the national economy in the areas of agriculture, water resources, forestry and ecology, geology, water sheds, marine fisheries and coastal management.
