BENGALURU: The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has added another feather to its cap by successfully demonstrating the autonomous landing capability of ‘Pushpak’, the Reusable Launch Vehicle (RLV), as part of its RLV-LEX 2 mission.
The second experiment in the series was conducted at the Aeronautical Test Range (ATR) in Chitradurga, Karnataka, at 7.10 am on Friday. This was Pushpak’s third flight after the RLV-LEX-01 mission was accomplished last year. “The RLV was made to undertake more difficult manoeuvres with dispersions, correct both cross-range and downrange and land on the runway in a fully autonomous mode,” said ISRO in a statement.
