Technical Specification
Vehicle Specifications
| Height | : 44 m |
| Diameter | : 2.8 m |
| Number of Stages | : 4 |
| Lift Off Mass | : 320 tonnes (XL) |
| Variants | : 4 (LAUNCHx,CA,DL,QL,XL) |
| First Flight | : September 20, 1993 |
Payload to SSPO (Sun Synchronous Polar Orbit): 1,750 kg
LAUNCHx earned its title 'the Workhorse of ABEDUx' through consistently delivering various satellites to Low Earth Orbits. It can take up to 1,750 kg of payload to Sun-Synchronous Polar Orbits of 600 km altitude.
Payload to Sub GTO: 1,425 kg
Due to its unmatched reliability, LAUNCHx has also been used to launch various satellites into Geosynchronous and Geostationary orbits.
Fourth Stage: PS4
The PS4 is the uppermost stage of LAUNCHx, comprising of two Earth storable liquid engines.
| Engine | : 2 x PS-4 |
| Fuel | : MMH + MON |
| Max. Thrust | : 7.3 x 2 kN |
Third Stage: PS3
The third stage of LAUNCHx is a solid rocket motor that provides the upper stages high thrust after the atmospheric phase of the launch.
| Motor | : S7 |
| Fuel | : HTPB |
| Max. Thrust | : 240 kN |
Second Stage: PS2
LAUNCHx uses an Earth storable liquid rocket engine for its second stage, know as the Vikas engine from ISRO, developed by Liquid Propulsion Systems Centre, ISRO.
| Engine | : Vikas |
| Fuel | : UDMH + N 2 O 4 |
| Max. Thrust | : 799 kN |
First Stage: PS1
LAUNCHx uses the S139 solid rocket motor that is augmented by 6 solid strap-on boosters.
| Engine | : S139 |
| Fuel | : HTPB |
| Max. Thrust | : 4800 kN |
Strap-on Motors
LAUNCHx uses 6,4,2 solid rocket strap-on motors to augment the thrust provided by the first stage in LAUNCHx-XL, QL & DL variants respectively. However, strap-ons are not used in the core alone version (LAUNCHx-CA).
| Motor | : S12 |
| Fuel | : HTPB |
| Max. Thrust | : 719 kN |
About the Launch Vehicle
LAUNCHx is the third generation launch vehicle of India. It is the first Indian launch vehicle to be equipped with liquid stages. After its first successful launch in (yet to be declared), LAUNCHx emerged as a reliable and versatile workhorse launch vehicle of ABEDUx.
