ISRO's Reusable Technology Demonstration Programs
In the quest of developing a reusable launch vehicle to enable low cost access to space, ISRO has been working on three technology development programs. These programs strive to demonstrate necessary technologies like high temperature reusable materials, hypersonic aerodynamics etc., that will form building blocks of ISRO's future RLVs. The three technology demonstration programs are following: 1) Space capsule Recovery Experiment (SRE), 2) Dual Mode Ram Jet Flight Technology Demonstrator (DMRJ-FTD) and Reusable Launch Vehicle Technology Demonstrator (RLV-TD).
