India's first-of-its-kind 'swadeshi' or indigenous space satellite launch vehicle - RLV-TD - was launched from Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh at 7 am today. The mission was declared successful 20 minutes after lift-off.

The 6.5 meter long Re-Usable Launch Vehicle - Technology Demonstrator (RLV-TD) weighs about 1.75 tons. It was built by a team of 600 scientists at a cost of Rs. 95 crore over five years.

Re-usable technology will help reduce the cost of launching objects into space by 10 times.

This is the first time that Indian Space Research Organization or ISRO will fly a winged body and bring it back to land on a make-shift runway in the Bay of Bengal. However, in further tests an undercarriage will be placed to make it land, possibly at Sriharikota.

This is the first time that ISRO has launched a winged flight vehicle.

On being asked what gave ISRO the confidence that it would succeed with a winged flight, Dr K Sivan, Director of the Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC) in Thiruvananthapuram, told NDTV: "... we will see how far our theoretical predictions are going to match with the real flight. Based on that we will be able to find out what the right design is. This data from RLV-TD's launch is going to be used for configuring the real reusable launch vehicle."

"We have already identified the area where we are going to land this space shuttle at Sriharikota where a five-km long runway will be made," Mr Sivan said.

On this flight, he said, "the vehicle will not be recovered because this vehicle is not designed for recovery. Soon after landing it will break. Our aim is to generate data so during the flight itself continuous telemetry will come in, we will acquire it, and then the data will be used".

The final RLV will be about 40 meters in length and will also be able carry Indian astronauts.

Its just a model which will go to only 70 Km height and splash down in the sea , not on a runway.

wont derail the thread as usual u r right

Congrats to ISRO.

Job well done.

It's TD only, and first test flight. Don't except a NASA thing here, they are PhD students, ISRO is school students.

Good for boosting national morale but nothing significant. Topgear a TV show launched a bigger space shuttle in 2008. Google it.
But yeah, at least India tries.

It's a step. The first step towards even greater steps, and a step greater then any you've taken here with your obnoxious condescension.

Before NASA's Space Shuttle came Dynasoar - the chronology of the shuttle program echoes in the RLV-TD:

And before it X-15:

And HL-10:

All paving a path towards the eventual Space Shuttle design by teaching NASA a lot about landing a lifting body design:

RLV-TD is the first step towards India's own Shuttle, an important first step:

A first step leads to greatness, but one must first take that step before realizing said greatness.

Congrats IRSO and the Indian Space Program, you've a long way to go, but you've also come a long way.

Yeah and by the time they had walked that "long way".... It will be anohe decade or two and space shuttle will be in the museum...oh wait a minute...it is already in the museum.
No is the time for this thing.

Quality garbage. That's all you've written.

The status of the US Shuttle Program, or its successor V2 Dragon:

Has nothing to do with the Indian ventures and you know it. You're just flinging sh*t to disparage their accomplishments.

China's doing things the US did 40 years ago:

Doesn't this belong in a museum too? Or is it just Indian space ventures that do when the US already tried and retired them?

It's that later one isn't it?

We are just copying Pakistan..Even US copied SUPARCO..So be happy with your contribution to the world.
Anyway congrats ISRO.ISRO rocks
