Weighing only 110 tons, the Small Satellite Launch Vehicle (SSLV) does equity to its name. It has been created by ISRO to take special care of a rising serious market for send off vehicles for little satellites
The Indian Space Research Organization's (ISRO) recently grew Small Satellite Launch Vehicle (SSLV) will take its lady trip on 7 August from Sriharikota's Satish Dhawan Space Center in Andhra Pradesh.
The send off of the SSLV-D1/EOS-02 Mission is booked for Sunday, August 7, 2022, at 9:18 am (IST) from Satish Dhawan Space Center (SDSC), Sriharikota. ISRO welcomes residents to the Launch View Gallery at SDSC to observe the send off. Enlistment is open at https://t.co/J9jd8yDs4a pic.twitter.com/rq37VfSfXu

As indicated by ANI, the ground testing of the recently evolved strong supporter stage (SS1) for SSLV was done on 14 March, 2022 and all the impetus boundaries during the test were seen as agreeable and were coordinating with the expectations.
What is SSLV?
The Small Satellite Launch Vehicle (SSLV) is India's littlest send off vehicle, weighing 110 tons.
As the name recommends, it is a more modest send off vehicle contrasted with the more normal PSLV.
Despite the fact that both are utilized to send off satellites into Low Earth Orbit, the specialized designs make them not the same as one another.
As per India Today, while the PSLV is 44 meters in level, SSLV tops at 34 meters. The recently evolved rocket has been designed with three strong stages the 87 t, 7.7 t, and 4.5 t separately, as against the PSLV, which is a four-stage rocket that produces 4800 kN push in the primary stage, 799 kN in the second, 240 kN in the third and 15 kN in fourth.
The SSLV has been intended to convey objects going as much as 500 kilograms to a 500-kilometer planar circle.
For its ongoing mission, the vehicle will convey a 135 kg Earth Observation Satellite called Microsat 2A or EOS-02 into low earth circle of around 350 km.
As per ISRO, SSLV has a breadth of 2.1 meters and the takeoff mass of the send off vehicle is roughly 120 tons.
It will likewise convey the AzadiSat satellite to low earth circle. As per reports, the eight-kilogram CubeSat, created by 750 young ladies, conveys 75 unique payloads, each gauging around 50 grams, that will lead femto-tests.
The SSLV is a minimal expense vehicle because of its low completion time, insignificant send off foundation prerequisites, and expanded creation rate from businesses.
Previous ISRO administrator K Sivan in 2019 said, "just six individuals will be expected to finish the work, rather than 60 individuals. The whole work will be finished in an exceptionally brief time frame and the expense will be just around Rs 30 crore. It will be an on-request vehicle."
For what reason do we really want SSLV?
With a developing business sector for the worldwide send off administrations for little satellites, ISRO's SSLV would make for an appealing choice because of its minimal expense, capacity to send off on request, and limit of conveying numerous heaps.
Working SSLV on more modest and more business missions will let loose the hugely utilized Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) for greater missions to space.
The PSLV has effectively directed more than 50 missions saving homegrown as well as client satellites into Low Earth Orbit (LEO).
