RLV-TD

RLV-TD (Reusable Launch Vehicle-technology Demonstrator) is an Indian project aimed at developing reusable spacecraft technology. It tests systems that allow a launch vehicle to return safely to Earth after delivering payloads to space, much like how airplanes land after a flight. The goal is to reduce costs and increase efficiency of space missions by reusing major components rather than building new ones each time. RLV-TD includes advanced technologies such as heat-resistant materials and precision landing systems, and serves as a stepping stone toward India's future fully reusable launch vehicles.
