The mission, known as the hypersonic flight experiment, is expected to last about 10 minutes from liftoff to splashdown. On Monday, a technology RLV demonstrator will be flown to an altitude of 70 km in the sky before being brought back to land in the sea. Much of the attention in recent years at ISRO was focused on the development of the heavy lift Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV) and its high-end version, the GSLV-Mk III, to enable the space organisation to break into the lucrative market of launching large communication satellites weighing over 2000 kg.Ī decision in 2011 by the US government to shut down NASA’s space shuttle programme on the grounds of viability also caused a drop in interest in the development of an RLV at ISRO.Ī renewed interest worldwide through the pioneering efforts of private companies like the Elon Musk-founded SpaceX in the US in creating cost-effective launch vehicles, that can fly hundreds of times into space in their lifespan, appears to have also rekindled fresh efforts at ISRO.
