 India's space exploration endeavors are poised to reach new heights with the imminent debut of ISRO 's groundbreaking reusable launch vehicle, Pushpak . This innovative project, which has been in development since 2012 under the code RLV (Reusable Launch Vehicle) , is set to redefine the nation's capabilities in accessing space. Pushpak represents a paradigm shift in space launch technology as a fully reusable, single-stage-to-orbit (SSTO) rocket. Unlike traditional launch vehicles, Pushpak is designed to launch vertically, with boosters aiding its ascent. Once in orbit, it will autonomously deploy satellites before returning to Earth, landing horizontally on an airstrip akin to an airplane. Significant milestones have marked the journey toward Pushpak's realization. In 2016, the "Hypersonic Flight Experiment (HEX)" showcased its potential, reaching a maximum altitude of 65 km and lasting 770 seconds. Subsequent tests, including the recent "Landing Exper...
