Rohini is the name given to a series of satellites launched by the Indian Space Research Organisation. The Rohini series consisted of four satellites, all of which were launched by the Indian Satellite Launch Vehicle (SLV) and three of which made it successfully to orbit. The series were mostly experimental satellites launched on the experimental launch vehicle SLV.
