Watch: ISRO’s successful reusable launch vehicle test

The Indian Space Research Organisation’s efforts along with its partners to develop a fully reusable launch vehicle which will allow low-cost access to space took a step forward with demonstration of its precise landing experiment.

The experiment for the Reusable Launch Vehicle was conducted at Karnataka’s Aeronautical Test Range located in Chitradurga yesterday.
