The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) successfully launched its Gaganyaan mission TV-D1 test flight on Saturday after an initial anomaly halted the launch. The Test Vehicle carrying payloads related to the Gaganyaan human space flight programme fired again at 10 am on Saturday after ISRO engineers were able to fix the glitch.
ISRO Chairman S Somanath expressed happiness over the successful launch, saying, "I am very happy to announce the successful accomplishment of the Gaganyaan TV-D1 mission."
The purpose of the Gaganyaan mission was to demonstrate the crew escape system for the program. The test vehicle went up to a Mach number slightly above the speed of sound and initiated an abort condition for the crew escape system to function. The crew escape system successfully took the crew module away from the vehicle and subsequent operations, including the touch-down at the sea, were also successful.
Somanath explained that the initial delay in the launch was due to a monitoring anomaly in the system. However, the anomaly was quickly identified and corrected, allowing the launch to proceed.
TV D1 test flight mission director S Sivakumar said, "This is like a never before attempt. It is like a bouquet of three experiments put together. We have now seen the characteristics of all three systems with what we wanted to test through this experiment or this mission. The test vehicle, the crew escape system, the crew module everything, we have perfectly demonstrated in the first attempt... All the systems performed well... We had been at penance for the last 3 to 4 years and the D day was today... We are very happy to be able to do it on the very first attempt."
The successful launch of the Gaganyaan TV-D1 mission is a major milestone in India's human spaceflight programme. The mission has demonstrated the capabilities of the crew escape system and other critical technologies that will be used in the Gaganyaan spacecraft.

ISRO on Saturday conducted its first test flight named Gaganyan TV-D1 mission. The test flight was successful and all the objectives were achieved. The test flight focused on various separation actions and how the crew model system will work during the actual mission. After a successful flight, ISRO chief S. Somanath said they prefer woman fighter test pilots and women scientists for the Gaganyaan mission. Know more of what he plans for the mission.
An important phase in the Indian Space Research Organization's Gaganyaan mission came to fruition today, October 21, as the space agency successfully launched its test vehicle into space from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota. The Gaganyaan mission test flight checks an important fail-safe mechanism to gauge whether the spacecraft can abort the mission mid-air and still safely bring back the crew or not.
Gaganyaan mission Live Updates: Test vehicle launch to take place in 9 minutes
ISRO is about to script history and everyone wants to know the answer to this question: Where is the Gaganyaan mission going? Well, the Gaganyaan mission is all about going to space and taking 3 astronauts along in a spacecraft. During the test, the rocket will ascend to an altitude of nearly 17 kilometers before triggering an abort signal. Before the Gaganyaan mission does that, ISRO is testing its crafts and systems deployed so that if something goes wrong, the Indian astronauts can be saved. And that is what the Gaganyaan mission test flight launch is all about.
In the wake of Chandrayaan-3's resounding success, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is poised for a monumental leap toward launching a crewed spacecraft in the highly anticipated Gaganyaan mission. Tomorrow, at 8 AM IST, the Flight Test Vehicle Abort Mission 1 (TV-D1) will embark on its journey from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, marking a pivotal milestone in India's space exploration endeavors.But what is it all about? what is Gaganyaan Mission purpose?
Gaganyaan mission test flight: ISRO has been planning the Gaganyaan mission for a long time and now it will finally launch its first uncrewed test mission dubbed as the Gaganyaan TV-D1 mission. The test flight is scheduled for tomorrow October 21, 2023 at 8 a.m. Indian time, and it plans to test the crew escape system for the official Gaganyaan mission. Know how ISRO will carry out the drill of the Gaganyaan test flight in this brief guide.
Gaganyaan mission first test flight tomorrow: ISRO is on a non-stop space mission spree, surpassing significant milestones one by one. After Chandrayaan-3 and Aditya-L1, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is set to launch its latest project into space. This is the ambitious Gaganyaan human spaceflight mission. In an announcement, ISRO has revealed its plans to conduct unmanned flight tests as a crucial step toward achieving its goal of sending a crew of three into a 400-kilometer orbit for a three-day mission, ensuring their safe return by landing in the Indian Ocean. However, tomorrow is the Gaganyaan mission first test flight launch.
Microsoft made several headlines when they unveiled their interest in bringing on another acquisition. After Zenimax Media, Microsoft went after a massive name with Activision Blizzard. The purchase brought in over $68 billion, and it was an uphill battle for Microsoft. They had to go through a series of regulators to ensure that this deal wouldn’t hurt competition. Of course, the significant component that hit the headlines was the fact that Microsoft would own Call of Duty. That made many players worried about a scenario in which Call of Duty would no longer be available on the PlayStation line of consoles. The folks over at Xbox continued to ensure this wouldn’t be the case.
