ISRO reaches new milestone, successfully lands Pushpak reusable launch vehicle

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has achieved a major breakthrough in reusable launch vehicle (RLV) technology with the successful completion of the RLV LEX-02 landing experiment. The RLV, named Pushpak, autonomously navigated towards the runway and landed using its brake parachute, landing gear brakes, and nose wheel steering system. This achievement demonstrates significant progress towards developing autonomous landing capabilities for space vehicles. The success of the experiment also validates the indigenous technologies developed by ISRO for navigation, control systems, landing gear, and deceleration systems. The mission was conducted in collaboration with the Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC), the Liquid Propulsion System Centre (LPSC), and the ISRO Inertial Systems Unit (IISU).
