NEW DELHI, Sept 18: The Union Cabinet chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday approved the development of the Next-Generation Launch Vehicle (NGLV), which will be a significant step towards the government's vision of establishing & operating the Bharatiya Antariksh Station and towards developing capability for Indian crewed landing on the Moon by 2040, Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju said.
Rijiju stated this in a post on social media 'X' and shared an official statement.
"NGLV will have 3 times the present payload capability with 1.5 times the cost compared to LVM3, and will also have reusability resulting in low-cost access to space and modular green propulsion systems," the statement said.
"Union Cabinet approves the development of New Re-usable Low-cost Next Generation Launch Vehicle (NGLV), which will be a significant step towards establishing & operating the Bharatiya Antariksh Station and developing capability for Indian Crewed Landing on the Moon by 2040," Mr Rijiju said on X.
The goals of the Indian space programme during the Amrit Kaal require a new generation of human-rated launch vehicles with high payload capability & reusability. Hence, the development of the NGLV is taken up which is designed to have a maximum payload capability of 30 tonnes to low earth orbit (LEO), which also has a reusable first stage. Currently, India has achieved self-reliance in space transportation systems to launch satellites up to 10 tonnes to LEO and 4 tonnes to Geo-Synchronous Transfer Orbit (GTO) through the currently operational PSLV, GSLV, LVM3 & SSLV launch vehicles.
