Indian Space Shuttle Programme

The Indian Space Shuttle Programme was a conceptual idea to design an indigenous Reusable Space Vehicle.
In the end of 1980s and beginning of 1990s India had plans to develop the small Space Shuttle named Hyperplane that would to be orbited by non-reusable launchers.
Then plans differed to project as a single-stage system. The Indian Space Research Organisation indicates that this vehicle is planned for development after 2010.
In parallel, India has more realistic and currently working the programme of manned spaceflights from 2014 to 2015 with non-reusable conventional spacecraft Orbital Vehicle launched by non-reusable launcher GSLV.
In 2011 ISRO gave more details on its shuttle programme.
