DRDO developed single stage
Liquid Propelled Vehicle surface to surface PRITHVI ( P-II ) missile was
successfully flight tested from Launch Complex III, Integrated Test Range
(ITR), Chandipur, Balasore District in Orissa. The launch was carried out by
the Strategic Force Command ( SFC ) as part of regular training exercise, says
the MoD.
PRITHVI II has a range of 350 Km, is India’s earliest developed and
inducted indigenous surface to surface strategic missiles. Guided by an
Inertial Navigation System (INS) and controlled by the thrust vector
control and aero-dynamic control systems, the missile reached the predefined
target in the Bay of Bengal with a very high
accuracy of better than 10 meters.
On September 24, 2010 the
user trial of Prithvi-II from Chandipur in Orissa failed as it dropped
off seconds after its launch.
This was the failed Prithvi II test two years ago-
