ISRO has put another feather in its cap and done another honour to the country. It has successfully launched the ‘swadeshi’ space shuttle with the winged Reusable Launch Vehicle (RLV-TD) fulfilling its mission objectives in the first crucial test to make space travel easier and cheaper in the future. It was a small seven meter long trial and it successfully re-entered the space. This is an achievement ISRO was bidding for and finally it has got it. The reports are that the double winged shuttle is a prototype of the American shuttle. Once when it becomes operational, and of course that will take its own time, it will reduce the cost of travel to space by ten times. That is what the scientists at ISRO believed.
We have made fairly good improvement in space research, thanks to our own scientists. They are capable of achieving more laurels. We congratulate them and the entire country is thankful to them. Our space mission, as has been explained by our leaders so often, is meant for peaceful purposes. India will collaborate with other countries in all efforts made towards establishing peace in the world. The Government has invested Rs 95 crore into the RLV-TD project. The project is ultimately aimed at putting satellites into orbit around earth and then re-enter atmosphere with the ultimate goal of drastically slashing down the cost of launches by as much as 10 times.
