ISRO chairman S Somanath congratulated the team for their dedication in sustaining the streak of success in the landing experiment of ‘Pushpak’. The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) accomplished the third landing experiment of the Reusable Launch Vehicle (RLV LEX-03) named ‘Pushpak’ on Sunday. According to a statement by the space agency, the test was carried out at 07:30 IST at the Aeronautical Test Range (ATR) located in Karnataka's Chitradurga.


      The winged vehicle, 'Pushpak', was released from an Indian Air Force Chinook Helicopter at an altitude of 4.5 km on Sunday.

      As a result of this mission, the sophisticated guidance algorithm addressing longitudinal and lateral plane error corrections, vital for future Orbital Re-entry Missions, has been authenticated.
