Augmented Satellite Launch Vehicle (ASLV), was a 5-stage solid propellant rocket with the capability of placing a 150 kg satellite into LEO. This project was started by the Indian space research organisation (ISRO) during the early 1980s to develop technologies needed for a payload to be placed into a geostationary orbit. Its design is based on Satellite Launch Vehicle. ISRO did not have sufficient funds for both the PSLV programme and the ASLV programme at the same time and this lead to the shutting down of the ASLV programme. The payloads of ASLV were Stretched Rohini Satellites.
