Polar & Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle [Infographic]

While going through Dr. B.N Suresh's presentation slides, came across these infographics about India's Satellite Launch Vehicles - the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle [PSLV] & the Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle [GSLV].
Very neatly explains some of the aspects of the Launch Vehicles.
