PSLV is the most reliable rocket of India. It is called the workhorse of ISRO. But it has become very old. Now new rockets are needed. Rockets that take off on their own. He himself could come back and land a part of them. Means can do vertical takeoff and vertical landing (VTVL). It has been learned from the Central Government that the Space Department is preparing to make rockets that can land on their own like Falcon-9 and Starship rockets of Elon Musk’s company SpaceX.
SpaceX’s Falcon-9 rocket is currently the world’s most trusted and frequently used rocket. It is also preferred because a large part of it gets reused. That is, it is reusable. His another rocket like this is Starship. Its trials are also going on. Elon Musk has made a plan to take humans to Mars from Starship itself. Well, the central government wants to make a similar rocket.

A question was asked to the Union Science Minister Dr. Jitendra Singh in the Lok Sabha. The question was whether the central government is working on Autonomous Precision Landing of Space Rocket? In response to this, the Union Minister said that the Space Department is working to develop technology related to such rockets. Studies are being done. After this, after achieving the necessary technologies, rockets with Vertical Takeoff and Vertical Landing (VTVL) will be made.
When India makes this technology, it will be able to reuse its rockets like the first stage of SpaceX’s Falcon-9 rocket. Because these rockets go into space. While there, they do not keep roaming in space. Rather, leaving the stage and satellite above them to a limit, they come back on their own. Such rockets can be repaired and used again. SpaceX is doing the same thing continuously.
Recently ISRO has launched rockets of private companies. Second, a launch pad and mission control center has been prepared for a private company. In future, private companies will also make their own reusable rockets. It will start with reusable autonomous VTVL rockets launching small satellites. After their success, large size rockets will be made so that heavy satellites can be sent into space.
The advantage of such rockets is that companies, governments or organizations of other countries search for cheap and reliable rockets and space agencies to launch their small satellites. In this matter, India is the most trusted country in the world. Therefore, there is a possibility that in the next five years, a series of such reusable autonomous VTVL rockets will start in India. A new era of space technology will start with them.
