Line 1: '''Reusable Launch Vehicle—Technology Demonstration Programme''' or '''~~RLV-TD~~RLV–TD''' are a series of technology demonstration missions that have been conceived by [[ISRO]] as a first step towards realising a [[Two Stage To Orbit]] (TSTO) re-usable launch vehicle, an intermediate step towards the creation of an [[Single-stage-to-orbit\|SSTO]] [[Avatar (rocket)\|Avatar]].<ref>http://www.spaceflightinsider.com/organizations/isro/indian-space-research-organisation-to-test-its-reusable-rlv-spacecraft/</ref> For this purpose a Winged [[Reusable launch system\|Reusable Launch Vehicle]] technology Demonstrator (RLV-TD) has been configured. The RLV-TD will act as a flying test bed to evaluate various technologies like hypersonic flight, autonomous landing, powered cruise flight and hypersonic flight using air-breathing propulsion.<ref>http://www.isro.org/rep2009/citizens.htm</ref>
