Gaganyaan mission to be launched today Live updates: After the success of Chandrayaan-3 mission and the launch of Aditya L-1, the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) on Saturday is all set to take the first step towards the Gaganyaan mission, India’s ambitious mission to send astronauts into space.
ISRO will launch an unmanned flight test at 8 am today to test the safety of astronauts for future manned space programs. ISRO will attempt a successful launch of its Test Vehicle – Demonstration (TV-D1), the single-stage liquid-propulsion rocket, on Saturday.
The test launch will see a single-stage liquid-propulsion rocket equipped with a Crew Module and Crew Escape System take off from the first launch pad at the spaceport at 8 a.m.
The test launch of the vehicle will act as a springboard for the progress of the Gaganyaan mission. The space program aims to send humans into space in a low Earth orbit of 400 km for a three-day mission and return them safely to Earth in 2025.
