10. Navigation with Indian Constellation
India has been using the NAVIC or Navigation with Indian Constellation for operations. With this, it makes India one of the top 5 countries to own a navigation system. Furthermore, Reusable Launch Vehicle’s (RLV) are space shuttles from ISRO, which have been built most economically and can be reused as space shuttles.
