Hat-trick for Pushpak: India’s Reusable Launch Vehicle aces third landing

 

latest news


This mission simulated the approach and landing interface and high-speed landing conditions for a vehicle returning from space, reaffirming Isro’s expertise in acquiring the most critical technologies required for the development of a Reusable Launch Vehicle (RLV).


The advanced guidance algorithm catering to longitudinal and lateral plane error corrections, which is essential for the future Orbital Re-entry Mission, has been validated, Isro said in a statement.


The RLV-LEX-03 mission reused the winged body and flight systems from the LEX-02 mission, demonstrating the robustness of Isro's capability of design to reuse flight systems for multiple missions. This mission was a collaborative effort involving multiple Isro centers, the Indian Air Force, and other organisations.


Isro chairman S Somanath congratulated the team for their efforts in maintaining the success streak in such complex missions. Dr S Unnikrishnan Nair, Director of VSSC, said that this consistent success boosts ISRO's confidence in the critical technologies essential for future orbital re-entry missions

The group, led by Salah Mahmoud, a former rebel leader, took up arms after  Nigers's junta came to power, posing further security threats to the country, which is already struggling with a deadly security crisis. Analysts say the crises could further hurt Niger, one of the world’s poorest countries which funds most of its budget with now-withheld external support in the aftermath of the coup.
