Trishul: Transport and Reuse Infrastructure for Spacecraft, Habitat, Utilities and Life-support

India’s first human-rated fully reusable orbital launch system β€” engineered for dependable crew, cargo, and fuel transport to LEO settlements.

Mission Purpose

Building on the engineering heritage of Vajra, Trishul is designed for frequent launches to Low Earth Orbit with humans aboard. It delivers critical supplies, station modules, and return capability for sustained LEO presence β€” all within a reusability-first philosophy.
