FIRST PRODUCT OF SPACE REFORM
• The next PSLV (polar satellite launch 
vehicle) launch will have satellite from 
start-up agencies which will be the first 
product of this reform.

POLAR SATELLITE LAUNCH VEHICLE (PSLV) 
• According to the ISRO, a trustworthy 
workspace for space scientists is the 
Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) – a 
four-step fuel-filled rocket to instil the 
rocket into its expected orbit, which 
drives the satellite.

DEFENCE AGAINST FAILURE
• India's space programme has been built 
on spectacular failures and each failure 
has resulted in improvements in the 
system. 
• The ISRO Chief advised them to take 
measured risk so they would defend 
against 'total failure.'
