Satellite Launch Vehicle

The Satellite Launch Vehicle (Hindi: उपग्रह प्रक्षेपण यान), or SLV was a project started in the early 1970s by the Indian Space Research Organisation to develop the technology needed to launch satellites. The project was headed by APJ Abdul Kalam. SLV was intended to reach a height of 400 km and carry a payload of 40 kg.The first experimental flight of SLV-3, in August 1979, was only partially successful.

It was a four-stage rocket with all solid-propellant motors.

The first launch of the SLV took place in Sriharikota on 10 August 1979. The fourth and final launch of the SLV took place on 17 April 1983.

Launch History

All four SLV launches occurred from the SLV Launch Pad at the Sriharikota High Altitude Range.

Ibipinabant

Ibipinabant (SLV319, BMS-646,256) is a drug used in scientific research which acts as a potent and highly selective CB₁ antagonist. It has potent anorectic effects in animals, and was researched for the treatment of obesity, although CB₁ antagonists as a class have now fallen out of favour as potential anorectics following the problems seen with rimonabant, and so ibipinabant is now only used for laboratory research, especially structure-activity relationship studies into novel CB₁ antagonists.
