Re: Unified Launch Vehicle ISRO
The ULV or Unified Launch Vehicle is a launch vehicle in development by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). The project core objective is to design a modular architecture that enable the replacement of the PSLV, GSLV Mk I/II and GSLV Mk III with a single family of launchers.
