Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle Mk III

Launch Vehicle Mark 3 (LVM3 Or GSLV Mark 3) - Officers PulseLVM-3, formerly GSLV Mk-III, is India's most powerful, three-stage heavy-lift launch vehicle developed by ISRO. It utilizes a combination of solid, liquid, and cryogenic propulsion to launch payloads of up to 4 tons to Geosynchronous Transfer Orbit (GTO). The rocket features two solid strap-on boosters, a liquid core stage, and a cryogenic upper stage powered by the CE20 engine. The LVM-3 is a crucial component for India's deep space missions, including Chandrayaan-3 and the human spaceflight program, Gaganyaan.
