1. Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV):

PSLV is a versatile and reliable launch vehicle used for placing satellites into different orbits. It has been ISRO's workhorse for several years and has a successful track record of numerous missions.

2. Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV):

GSLV is designed to launch heavier satellites into geostationary orbits. It has multiple configurations, including the Mark II and Mark III variants, with increased payload capacities.

3. Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle-Mark III (GSLV-Mk III):

Also known as the "Bahubali," GSLV-Mk III is ISRO's most powerful launch vehicle. It has the capability to carry heavier payloads, including the Chandrayaan-2 lunar mission and the upcoming Gaganyaan manned mission.
