Now, it will be tested over land and make an attempt at an actual landing. So far, the RLV shuttle has been tested over water. It will return under its own power and make a landing on a floating platform out at sea. The shuttle was so accurately replicated that it used real fireproof 'tiles' used on the space shuttle. Six Flags Great America operated a motion simulator ride named Space Shuttle America, which featured a life-sized mock up of a real space shuttle sitting outside the rides building. The rocket that will take this shuttle to orbit will return to Earth much like Musk's Falcon 9 rockets. Space Shuttle America was a motion simulator based on the NASA Space Shuttle. This craft will take a payload to space and then glide back to Earth, landing like a normal aircraft, much like the Space Shuttle. India's RLV includes a Space Shuttle-like craft that could feature an air-breathing ramjet engine. ISRO's current project appears to be using a hybrid design that sits somewhere between NASA's now-shuttered Space Shuttle program and SpaceX's reusable rockets. On May 11, 1792, Gray and his crew maneuvered the Col. 1 Columbia was named after a sloop captained by Robert Gray. The first Space Shuttle, officially known as the Space Transport System (STS), is a partially reusable launch vehicle operated. At least four varieties of Space Shuttle are known to exist, three operated by the United States and one by the Soviet Union. The RLV program aims to cut down on launch costs by, well, reusing the spacecraft. The Space Shuttles Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, Atlantis and Endeavour were named after famous exploration and research ships. Space Shuttles are a type of reusable spacecraft capable of at least partial reusability after launch and re-entry into the Earths atmosphere. The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is finally following in the footsteps of NASA and SpaceX by developing a space program for Reusable Launch Vehicles (RLV) which it has been testing since 2016.
