"A “Made in India” space shuttle may be on the horizon.

This month, the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO)—India’s equivalent of
NASA—will begin the mission to launch its indigenous space shuttle, the Press
Trust of India reported on May 15.

Although the test model is about six times smaller than the actual version, the
launch will be a significant milestone in ISRO’s Reusable Launch Vehicle-
Technology Demonstration Program. The program, according to ISRO, is “a series of
technology demonstration missions that have been considered as a first step
towards realising a Two Stage To Orbit (TSTO) fully reusable vehicle.”"
