The Planetary Imaging Launch Vehicle project centers on designing and developing a specialized launch vehicle to deploy the GISAT-1 satellite, a cutting-edge Earth observation satellite, into its designated orbit. GISAT-1 captures high-resolution, real-time images of the Earth's surface, providing essential data for environmental monitoring, disaster management, agriculture, and urban development. This project encompasses the entire launch vehicle lifecycle, from conceptual design through payload integration and launch readiness, ensuring a reliable and efficient deployment.The goal is to create a cost-effective, modular launch system that enhances Earth observation capabilities and allows GISAT-1 to perform optimally in orbit. The proposed launch vehicle uses a three-stage design, combining solid and liquid propulsion to maximize thrust, efficiency, and payload capacity. It is intended to deploy lightweight imaging satellites into low Earth orbit or interplanetary trajectories.By successfully developing this vehicle, the project aims to set a standard for future satellite deployment missions and contribute to global planetary monitoring and environmental management efforts.
