ISRO Building India's First Space Shuttle
The world bid a teary adieu to Atlantis, NASA’s final space shuttle project.
Takes to the skies
According to reports on NDTV, ISRO is currently working on a project, whose success would herald a new dawn in the history of India’s presence in space missions. Placed in a secret ISRO facility in Kerala, the fully re-usable satellite launch vehicle is slowly being put together to play its role in creating history. Covered by heat-resistant tiles, ISRO's latest project would essentially be an unmanned space shuttle vehicle.
Reports suggest that, at least for the first few flights the launch will be in a vertical position, like that of a rocket. It will then be dropped back into the sea. Later on, though, it will have a normal landing, just like the other aircrafts.
At the moment, the above mentioned is just about all the information that has been made available about the project so far.
