Gaganyaan Mission LIVE: ISRO Launches Gaganyaan Mission Test Flight from Satish Dhawan Space Centre

The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) will conduct the Gaganyaan’s first Flight Test Vehicle Abort Mission-1 (TV-D1), which will demonstrate the performance of the Crew Escape System.

The TV-D1 will lift off at 8 a.m. on October 21 from the first launch pad of the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota.

The Gaganyaan mission aims to demonstrate the capability to launch human beings (three crew members) to low earth orbit and bring them back safely to earth by landing them in either the Bay of Bengal or the Arabian Sea.

Prior to the first crewed flight, three test vehicles (TV) flights have been planned: TV-1, TV-2 and TV-3.

Today, it will be the first flight, and the beginning of next year, one more unnamed flight will carry the humanoid VyomMitra. Subsequently, manned flight is expected to take place in 2025.
