Abstract
GSLV is a “geosynchronous satellite launch vehicle” which aims at launching space objects into GTO- Geosynchronous transfer orbit. This paper provides a brief idea of the chemistry of propellants used in all three stages and strap-on motors of geosynchronous satellite launch vehicles and their combustion mechanism. It includes all series of GSLVs launched till now and a description of criteria for choosing fuel. This paper also includes a brief description on hydrazine which is a basic part of so many propellant combinations. Furthermore, it includes basic reasons which result in unsuccessful ignition especially at cryogenic. It also emphasizes on reasons for modification in fuels over time and advancement in efficiency obtained due to respective modified fuels, further, giving an overview of future ideas in the development of propellants.
