In addition, this is the first of a series of experiments and we still have a long way to go till we reach the actual RLV, which will give us a tremendous capacity in terms of launching at a very low cost," he added. It will be carried up on a solid rocket motor. The skies above Kennedy Space Center have cleared considerably for the time being. "Therefore, we are designing for the first time a winged body, which will come back from space. We are at 1 hour, 52 minutes and counting. We intend to go through a series of technology demonstration exercises, the first one of which we call HEX-01, that is a hypersonic experiment. "The RLV is a mechanism for us to bring down the cost of launch. The HS9 solid rocket booster was designed to fire for just 91.1 seconds. Space Floridas storied Launch and Landing Facility (LLF) formerly known as the Shuttle Landing Facility (SLF), is one of the longest runways in the world. ISRO chairman Kiran Kumar explained that the experimental RLV it is essentially an attempt by India to bring down the cost of making infrastructure for space. ISRO launched the RLV-TD test flight on Monday, at 7 a.m. The government has invested Rs 95 crores in the RLV-TD project. The RLV-TD is described as "a very preliminary step" in the development of a reusable rocket, the final version of which is expected to take 10-15 years.
