Indian Space Shuttle


Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) is going to launch its own reusable space shuttle very soon. 


Apparently, the shuttlecraft is currently being held in a secret location in Kerala.  An Indian version of the space shuttle will be test-flown from the spaceport at Sriharikota in a year’s time. The Reusable Launch Vehicle-Technology Demonstrator (RLV-TD), as it is called, will be a combination rocket-aircraft: the aircraft with a winged body, which is the RLV, will sit vertically on the rocket.
