'The dream of an Indian Reusable Launch Vehicle is one step closer to reality.'
India's space agency added that its experiment was a world first, as a winged body had never been carried to an altitude of 4.5 km by helicopter before being released for an autonomous landing.
"With that, ISRO successfully achieved the autonomous landing of a space vehicle," ISRO said. "With LEX, the dream of an Indian Reusable Launch Vehicle arrives one step closer to reality."The configuration of RLV-TD is similar to that of an aircraft, and it was developed to test several technologies, including hypersonic flight. It features twin vertical tails and double delta wings, making it somewhat resemble a mini Space Shuttle.
“The winged RLV-TD has been configured to act as a flying test bed to evaluate various technologies, namely, hypersonic flight, autonomous landing, and powered cruise flight. In the future, this vehicle will be scaled up to become the first stage of India’s reusable two-stage orbital launch vehicle,” ISRO said in its statement.ISRO also performed a successful flight test of RLV-TD back in 2016.

Indian opposition leader will avoid prison during appealsAn Indian court on Monday suspended a two-year prison sentence for Indian opposition leader Rahul Gandhi as he appeals a criminal conviction for mocking the prime minister’s surname that saw him expelled from Parliament, dealing a huge blow to his Congress Party ahead of general elections next year. Gandhi, a fierce critic of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his main challenger in the 2024 polls, was ousted after a court sentenced him to two years in prison for defamation for a comment made in a 2019 election speech. The prosecution was widely condemned by opponents of Modi as the latest assaults against democracy and free speech by a ruling government seeking to crush dissent.
