Pushpak 'Viman' lands successfully; How ISRO's new launch vehicle can pave the way for affordable space exploration
ISRO achieves a milestone in reusable launch vehicle technology with the successful landing experiment of RLV LEX-02. The mission simulated high-speed landing conditions of an RLV returning from space, demonstrating autonomous landing capability. ISRO re-validated its technologies in navigation, control systems, and landing gear. The mission, accomplished by VSSC, LPSC, and IISU, builds on the success of RLV-LEX-01, demonstrating the reuse capability of flight hardware and systems. ISRO aims to enable low-cost access to space through these advancements.
