The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) Sunday successfully conducted the Reusable Launch Vehicle (RLV) Autonomous Landing Mission (LEX) at the Aeronautical Test Range of the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) in Karnataka’s Chitradurga.
According to ISRO, the RLV took off at 7.10 am as an underslung load of a Chinook Helicopter of the Indian Air Force and flew to a height of 4.5 km. “Once the predetermined pillbox parameters were attained, based on the RLV’s Mission Management Computer command, the RLV was released in mid-air at a down range of 4.6 km,” according to a release by ISRO.

The technique adopted to launch the vehicle was “a first in the world” where a winged body was carried to an altitude of 4.5 km by a helicopter and released for carrying an autonomous landing on a runway. “The autonomous landing was carried out under the exact conditions of Space Re-entry vehicle’s landing – (such as) high speed, unmanned, precise landing from the same return path – as if the vehicle arrived from space,” the release said.
