ISRO’S GAGANYAAN TEST FLIGHT SUCCESSFUL AFTER INITIAL GLITCH
India closer to realising 1st human space flight: PM

NEW DELHI, OCT 21
Overcoming initial hiccups, including a monitoring anomaly, the Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro) on Saturday successfully launched a test vehicle with payloads related to the country’s ambitious human space flight programme “Gaganyaan”.
Scientists simulated an abort situation for the Crew Escape System (CES) to carry the crew module out of the test vehicle, TV-D1, as they made a splash into the Bay of Bengal with planned precision, setting off jubilation among ISRO scientists at the Mission Control Center.
The crew module (CM) is where the astronauts are contained in a pressurised earth-like atmospheric condition during the “Gaganyaan” mission. For TV-D1, the CM was an unpressurised version, ISRO said.
The Navy was slated to recover them from the sea and take to the Chennai port, officials said. A single-stage liquid propulsion rocket, equipped with a crew module and crew escape system, lifted off from Sriharikota on Saturday. The payloads later splashed into the sea as planned, a development that was welcomed with loud cheers at the mission control centre.
“I am very happy to announce the successful accomplishment of the TV D1 mission. The purpose of the mission was to demonstrate the crew escape system for the “Gaganyaan” programme through a test vehicle demonstration in which the vehicle has gone up to a Mach and above, which is the speed of sound and initiated an abort condition for the CES to function,” a beaming ISRO Chairman S. Somanath said from the Mission Control Center.
Gaganyaan programme aims to send humans into space on a “low earth orbit” of 400 km for three days and bring them safely back to the Earth.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi said the successful launch of the test vehicle takes India a step closer to realising its first human space flight programme.
In a post on X, he said, “This launch takes us one step closer to realising India's first human space flight program, Gaganyaan. My best wishes to our scientists at ISRO.”
