Answer:

D. All are correct

• Correct Answer :Option D) All are Correct

• ASLV (Augmented Satellite Launch Vehicle): This was developed by ISRO in the late 1980s and early 1990s as an intermediate vehicle to demonstrate technologies needed for more advanced launch vehicles. It was designed to place 150 kg satellites into Low Earth Orbit (LEO).

• SSLV (Small Satellite Launch Vehicle): This is a newer launch vehicle developed by ISRO specifically designed for launching small satellites. It's intended to provide a cost-effective, quick-turnaround option for launching smaller payloads up to 500 kg into LEO.

• RLV (Reusable Launch Vehicle): This is ISRO's technology demonstrator for developing a reusable spacecraft, similar in concept to the American Space Shuttle. The RLV-TD (Technology Demonstrator) is part of ISRO's efforts to reduce the cost of access to space by developing reusable launch technology.
