ISRO successfully launches space shuttle

The first ever 'Made in India' space shuttle called the Reusable Launch Vehicle (RLV-TD) was successfully test-launched early this morning from Sriharikota in Andhra Pradesh by The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO). This is the first time ISRO launched a winged flight vehicle, which after its launch, came back and landed on a virtual runway in the Bay of Bengal, some 500 kilometres from the coast.
