ISRO Researching VTVL?
« on: 03/28/2018 09:07 am »
Is ISRO studying the possibility of a VTVL system?




This conference poster seems to mention "Technologies for Reusable Propulsion"

The simple legs and single engine bell on the bottom make this thing look like a small test-bed concept similar to the RLV-TD but meant to test vertical landing, like SpaceX's Grasshopper or ESA's Callisto.

Hmm, it would be nice to see a test-article made and flown for evaluation purposes. Maybe something to watch for in future funding approval info.
