ISRO scores a 100, PSLV takes the cake with most to space
Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) on Wednesday achieved a historic milestone with its 100th mission and revealed an ambitious future plan of crossing the next 100 launches in five years. Starting off with the SLV in 1979, the space agency crossed the 100-mission mark after 46 years, but what stands out is the PSLV's dominance through the years with 62 missions.

The Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) has turned out to be ISRO's most trusted rocket, thanks to its unmatched reliability.
While PSLV has been used for 62 missions, GSLV with indigenous cryogenic upper stage comes next with 17. LVM3 (Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle MkIII--the heaviest rocket) with 7 and SSLV (Small Satellite Launch Vehicle) 3, follow suit.
The others are Reusable Launch Vehicle, TV (Test Vehicle) and PAT (Pad Abort Test).
PSLV, often dubbed as the «trusted workhorse of ISRO» by scientists, has been used consistently to inject various satellites into precise Low Earth Orbits. The vehicle which is 44.4 metre tall is equipped to take payloads of up to 1,750 kg to Sun-Synchronous Polar Orbits of 600 km altitude.
