Aryabhatta was India's first satellite, launched on 19 April 1975. It was built by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) and named after the ancient Indian mathematician-astronomer Aryabhata. Rohini was a later satellite series (first launched in 1979). SLV (Satellite Launch Vehicle) was the launch vehicle, not a satellite. PSLV (Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle) is an operational launch vehicle first flown in 1993, not a satellite.
