* The development of a reusable GSLV Mk-III launch vehicle will help ISRO is saving money as well.
* It will help ISRO to land its GSLV Mk-III launch vehicles vertically.
GSLV Mk III :
* It is also referred to as the Launch Vehicle Mark 3 (LVM3).
* It is a three-stage medium-lift launch vehicle developed by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).
* It is primarily designed to launch communication satellites into geostationary orbit.
* It is also identified as the launch vehicle for crewed missions under the Indian Human Spaceflight Programme and dedicated science missions like Chandrayaan-2.
* It has a higher payload capacity than the similarly named GSLV Mk II.
