Two more experiments are planned by ISRO: '''OREX''' (Orbital Return Flight Experiment) and '''SPEX''' (Scramjet Propulsion Experiment).<ref name="FinalTouches2015" /><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.bharat-rakshak.com/media/33219-5/IMG_0024.JPG |title=Poster on the RLV-TD |access-date=2009-07-30 |archive-date=2016-03-03 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303165739/http://www.bharat-rakshak.com/media/33219-5/IMG_0024.JPG |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web| url=http://www.isro.gov.in/technology-development-programmes/reusable-launch-vehicle-technology-demonstration-program-rlv-td| title=Reusable Launch Vehicle - Technology Demonstration Program (RLV-TD) - ISRO| work=isro.gov.in| access-date=2015-06-08| archive-date=2016-05-23| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160523073038/http://www.isro.gov.in/technology-development-programmes/reusable-launch-vehicle-technology-demonstration-program-rlv-td| url-status=dead}}</ref> The OREX will launch on a [[Geosynchronous_Satellite_Launch_Vehicle|GSLV]] rocket with [[Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle#Fourth stage|PS-4]] stage instead of its [[Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle#Third stage|CUS]] [[upper stage]]s (due to decreased performance unlike a regular GSLV launch) and [[RLV-TD|Orbital Re-entry vehicle (ORV)]] in place of its [[ogive]] [[payload fairing]]. and renterre-enter the earth's atmosphere for a landing to demonstrate the viability of the project. The OREX vehicle will be 1.6 times larger than the Landing Experiment's Pushpak platform. It will have retractable landing gear and a thermal protection system for a safe re-entry into Earth's atmosphere.<ref name=":1" />
