ISRO(Indian space research organisation) started its project of SLV (Satellite Launch Vehicle) in early 1970s. This project was headed by A.P.J. Abdul Kalam. A Satellite Launch Vehicle is used for launching of satellites. This project had is first experiment flight of SLV-3 in August 1979 which was partially successful. But now India has a capacity to design, manufacture and launch its own SLV's along with the satellite. Thanks to the hard and dedicated work of ISRO.
