After a year Rohini satellites carry remote sensing sensors. This also helps in the project development of some advanced launched vehicles such as Augmented Satellite Launch Vehicle ASLV, Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle PSLV and the Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle GSLV.
In the year $ \text{August, 1979} $ the first experimental flight of the $ SLV-3 $ , was a failure. It took almost one year to make it successful. Kalam sir launched it. Exactly eleven months later got the message the Rocket blasted off. He was the project director of the $ SLV-3 $ .
