RLV's autonomous approach and landing

India 🇮🇳 achieved it! ISRO, joined by @DRDO_India @IAF_MCC, successfully conducted the Reusable Launch Vehicle Autonomous Landing Mission (RLV LEX) at the Aeronautical Test Range (ATR), Chitradurga, Karnataka in the early hours on April 2, 2023.

Another video of the RLV LEX mission with views from the Chinook 🚁 added to the gallery at ...

Congratulations @isro . That looks like a pretty impressive piece of engineering

Remarkable! Congrats Team @isro

Somnath sir should be awarded with Padma Vibhushan for improving ISRO PR and Camera Quality. It's happened for the first time that ISRO is releasing official video within a few hours ❤️❤️💐

Drogue shoots were detached a tad bit early I think resulting in a wobbly braking . Fantastic achievement. Next step is a full scale model and a drop from orbit. Any plans for isro to make a reusable booster/ first stage?

Awesome. ISRO has catapulted India to a new level. Opens new avenues for new deep space exploration missions. Including multiple hops in the future will extend the explorers to visit inter galaxy exoplanets too.

1st appreciate your work, keep it up 👍 Love how you turned towards making automated landing, horizontal instead of vertical. Suggestion reinforce legs, notice it almost tumbled when brake parachute detach, then again when I look at history I language at the madness, good job.

Congratulations 🎊 isro for successful landing test of reusable launch vehicle 👏

Congratulations , with that we are Inch closer to "Gaganyaan"

I wish to see this fully operational by 2026 -2028 india Will be 2nd country in world to do this
