Gaganyaan mission Launch: Today’s unmanned test flight, dubbed Flight Test Vehicle Abort Mission-1 (TV-D1), has successfully been launched and the test vehicle has been safely dropped down in the Bay of Bengal. This blog is now closed.
Attempting to prepare for every possibility, which is now a part of its ethos, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) will carry out an abort test for the human space mission, Gaganyaan, today.
This flight will simulate the abort condition during the ascent trajectory. Crew escape systems with crude modules will be separated from the test vehicle at an altitude of about 17 km.
