Shivamoga: ISRO former chairman and Padmabhushan Dr U R Rao predicted that India would achieve a milestone in the next 10-15 years in building reusable rockets.
He was delivering a special lecture on space at an open lecture series organised by the National Education Society in association with Karnataka Science and Technology Academy, at the MBA auditorium of the JNNCE in the city on Thursday.
He said testing of an indigenous satellite launching vehicle built by the ISRO was successful.
Cost-Effective Project
"After the rocket reaches the satellite into orbit, it will return to the earth. The project of building this reusable launching vehicle is in the primary stages. It will take another 10-15 years to complete it. ISRO is trying to do this project at the minimum cost," he said.
In its first attempt, India has sent the satellite to the Mars successfully. America, China and other countries have reached this milestone after several attempts.
The next venture of the ISRO is Chandrayana-2 and this would create another history in the space sector, he said.
