The reusable launch vehicle ‘Pushpak’ has been tested at the Aeronautical Test Range located in Chitradurga, Karnataka on Friday, March 22, 2024 at 7:10 pm. During this test, Pushpak automatically landed on the runway. This is being considered a big success for ISRO. Through this test, ISRO demonstrated the autonomous landing capability of the reusable launch vehicle. The winged vehicle is designed to perform more complex maneuvers, correct both cross runways and downrange, and land on the runway in fully autonomous mode.
What did ISRO say about the training?
Giving information on its social media platform X (earlier Twitter), ISRO said that the mission of RLV-LEX 01 was completed last year. After this, RLV-LEX 02 was tested. This demonstrated the autonomous landing capability of the RLV in initial conditions following launch from the helicopter. The winged vehicle, named Pushpak, was lifted by a Chinook helicopter of the Indian Air Force and released from a height of 4.5 kilometres. After release at a distance of 4 km from the runway, Pushpak autonomously landed on the runway with cross range corrections. Pushpak landed smoothly on the runway.
Also know the characteristics of Pushpak
Let us tell you that Pushpak is a re-usable launching aircraft. This plane resembles airplanes that have wings. Its weight is about 1.75 tonnes. This aircraft can be effective in making access to space affordable. Pushpak can help in robotic landings in more complex situations. Today i.e. on Friday only robotic landing was tested.
