Gaganyan mission by Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO)

Gaganyaan mission by Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) On October 21, 2023, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) conducted a test flight of the crew module for the Gaganyaan mission. The crew module was tested to go 17 km above the ground and return back to the ground for testing purposes. After this, three astronauts will be sent to space in the same module and will travel above 400 km. The test mission was initially scheduled to launch at 08:00 am IST on October 21, 2023, but was postponed due to bad weather conditions. However, with good weather conditions, the module was successfully launched 08:45.

The Gaganyaan mission is India's first human spaceflight mission and is a part of ISRO's Human Spaceflight Programmed. The mission is scheduled to launch in 2024 and is aimed at demonstrating India's human spaceflight capability. The success of this mission is crucial for India's space program and will pave the way for future manned missions.

In summary, on October 21, 2023, ISRO conducted a successful test flight of the crew module for the Gaganyaan mission. The test flight involved sending the crew module 17 km above the ground and returning it back to the ground. After this, three astronauts will be sent to space in the same module and will travel above 400 km. The test mission was initially postponed due to bad weather conditions but was successfully launched later. This mission is crucial for India's space program and will pave the way for future manned missions.

 The Gaganyaan mission is India's first human spaceflight mission and is a part of ISRO's Human Spaceflight Programmed. The mission aims to demonstrate India's human spaceflight capability by launching a crew of 3 members to an orbit of 400 km for a 3-day mission and bringing them back safely on earth, by landing on earth in Bay of Bengal. The first crewed mission was originally planned to be launched on ISRO's LVM3 rocket in December 2021, but was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The successful test flight of the crew module for the Gaganyaan mission on October 21, 2023, is expected to provide ISRO with invaluable lessons to plan the eventual human spaceflight mission.
