India gears up for the experimental flight of "Pushpak Viman," a winged rocket aimed at revolutionizing space access. Developed by ISRO, the reusable launch vehicle seeks to lower costs by reusing its upper stage. Named after a legendary spaceship from the Ramayan, the 6.5-meter craft weighs 1.75 tons and will undergo autonomous landing tests. With over ₹100 crore invested, India eyes commercial launch opportunities and aims to establish its own space station by 2035. Pushpak represents a significant step towards sustainable and affordable space exploration for the nation.
