Option 2 is correct, i.e. 1987.
- The Augmented Satellite Launch Vehicle, or Advanced Satellite Launch Vehicle, also known as ASLV, was a five-stage solid-fuel small-lift launch vehicle designed by the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) for placing 150 kg of satellites in LEO.
- The ASLV made four attempts, one of which was successful, two of which failed to enter orbit, and a third reached a lower than expected orbit that rapidly decayed. On 24 March 1987, the type made its maiden flight, and its final flight on 4 May 1994.
- All four ASLV launches occurred from the ASLV Launch Pad at the Sriharikota Range.
