Science and Technology
The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) has successfully completed the test launch and recovery of the crew module for the Gaganyaan mission, bringing the country's first human space flight project one step closer to reality. The test involved simulating an emergency situation to ensure that the crew module could safely remove itself from the test vehicle and land in the ocean. ISRO aims to launch an unmanned flight for the Gaganyaan mission in the first half of 2024, followed by a manned mission around 2025. This marks an important milestone for the Gaganyaan mission, the country's first manned space flight project. Agency chief S Somnath said Saturday's test was the first of many that the agency will conduct to prepare for human missions to space around 2025.
