India’s ISRO has unveiled its ambitious Vision 2047, aiming to develop a hypersonic transport platform that will revolutionize space missions by providing rapid, reusable access to orbit, significantly reducing launch costs. This platform, leveraging advanced air-breathing propulsion like scramjets, is projected to support human spaceflight and interplanetary missions, including the Bharatiya Antariksha Station by 2035. Building on decades of R&D from the Reusable Launch Vehicle program, ISRO’s roadmap includes dual-use capabilities for military and civilian purposes, enhancing India’s stature as a global space power while promoting self-reliance in space technology. Overall, this initiative aligns with India’s goal of becoming a leading player in space exploration by its centenary of independence.
