Reusable Launch Vehicle (RLV) capable of carrying payloads to designated orbital destinations, returning to earth for servicing and then performing another mission within days has been the dream programme of all space faring countries. Research is being carried out worldwide to prove the concept of a cost effective and fully Reusable Launch Vehicle. The need to develop RLVs stems from the inherent advantages like low cost for space access, less turnaround time and minimizing space debris. The concept is becoming increasingly relevant in these days due to stiff competition from private enterprises as well as emphasis on low cost access to space.
