Mission Director of Re-usable Launch vehicle technology Dr.K.Sivan has said that the recent launch of the mission was successful. <br/><br/>Speaking to newspersons in Chennai today, he told that the mission was to do the experiment and use the data for developing a launch vehicle which can return and would be re used again using a cost effective method in ten years of time. <br/><br/>This mission had cost about Rs.100 crore .India has joined the elite club of nations like the US, Russia, Japan and Europe in the reusable technology of space vehicle.<br/><br/>This indigenously developed first vehicle was built by Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre at Tiruvananthapuram. This mission also was used to test the heat resistant material which could withstand heat upto 2000 degreeC while reentering the atmosphere. <br/><br/>Mr.Sivan told that Indian scientists were poised to develop a much more complex sophisticated technology at an affordable cost in the re entry mission.<br/>He told that there was a plan to develop a five km sophisticated runway to precisely land the reusable launch vehicle. <br/><br/>ISRO plans to launch 60 to 70 satellites in the next five years if we use the technology which is reusable and cost effective. <br/><br/>He also told that there will be a test on the use of carbon carbon material which could be used for soldiers in Siachen area, thermal coat to protect houses from excess heat. <br/><br/>Referring to Mangalyaan , Dr.Sivan said that the parameters of the satellite was satisfactory and the data is continuously monitored and used among the scientific at ISRO and NASA.
