AnduraX is the operating name of Andura Expeditions Private Limited, an Indian company developing reusable spaceplanes for microgravity research and payload return. Its website describes the ARES experimental vehicle and the SPARC crew-and-cargo concept; both remain in development.
The New Indian Express reported that AnduraX completed its ADM-01 high-altitude demonstration in May 2026, descending under an unguided parachute. Its proposed orbital return capability still requires further development and testing.
Austrade documented plans for Space Angel and Andura Expeditions to cooperate on spacecraft testing, spaceport activities, high-altitude drop campaigns and hypersonic recovery. The public record describes intended work; it does not establish a completed orbital recovery service.
