00:00This is Pushpak Vraman, a space shuttle-like reusable vehicle designed by ESRO to launch

00:05small and medium-type satellites into space. Upon touchdown, the launcher might require

00:10reconditioning to make it airworthy for its subsequent missions. This reusable vehicle

00:15developed by the Indian Space Research Organization offers low-cost access to space.

00:21ESRO designed this spaceplane with a low lift-to-drag ratio which requires it to

00:26approach at high glide angles and land at high velocities of 350 km per hour.
