The XL variant of India’s Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) seems to have an interesting connection with Moon, Mars and now the Sun. The rocket made its maiden flight on October 22, 2008 for India’s first interplanetary mission – the Moon Mission-1 or Chandrayaan-1. And on November 5, 2013, the rocket was used for India’s first Mars Mission called Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM).
