Successful testing of Gaganyaan’s crew escape system: Launched 17 km high by rocket and landed in the Bay of Bengal after 8 minutes by parachute.
Gaganyaan Mission: The crew escape system of the Gaganyaan mission was successfully tested on Saturday by the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO). It was launched at 10 am from the Satish Dhawan Space Center in Sriharikota. Its name was Test Vehicle Abort Mission-1 (TV-D1).
The duration of this mission was 8.8 minutes. In this mission, after going up 17 kilometers, the crew module was landed in the Bay of Bengal, 10 kilometers away from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre. In case of a malfunction in the rocket, the system that brought the astronaut inside safely to Earth was investigated.
The test flight consisted of three parts: a stage liquid rocket (designed for the abort mission), the crew module, and the crew escape system. These rockets were made from developed engines. Additionally, a crewed mission did not yet have a crew module environment.

The mission was postponed twice
Earlier today the mission was postponed twice. It was scheduled to start at 8 pm, but due to bad weather it started at 8.45 pm. Then the engine was not lit five seconds before launch, so the mission was aborted. After some time, ISRO corrected the mistake.
A place was created like an abort in testing
- The test vehicle crew module was raised. An abort-like scenario was created when the rocket was 1.2 times the speed of sound. The crew escape system and crew module separated at an altitude of approximately 17 km. The crew module was taken about two kilometers away from here and landed in the sea, ten kilometers away from Sriharikota.
- In this mission, scientists examined the success of the abort trajectory. How astronauts would land safely if a rocket malfunctioned during an actual mission was investigated. A total of four probe flights should be sent to investigate the mission. After TV-D1, TV-D2, D3 and D4 will be available.
- The first unmanned mission of Gaganyaan mission will be launched early next year. Unmanned mission means that no human will be sent into space. After the unmanned mission is successful, there will be a manned mission, which will take people to space. ISRO has set a target to complete the manned mission in 2025.
1.The explosion killed all seven crew members 73 seconds after takeoff.
The morning of 28 January 1986 was very cold. America’s Space Shuttle Challenger was ready to take off on its tenth mission. The shuttle lifted off at 11:38 a.m. carrying mission commander Francis Scobie, pilot Michael Smith, mission specialists Judith Resnick, Ronald McNair, Alison Onizuka, payload specialist Gregory Jarvis and teacher Christina McAuliffe.
The explosion occurred 73 seconds after takeoff, killing all seven crew. This accident was caused by a defect in the rubber seal O-ring of the solid rocket booster. The extremely cold weather had damaged these seals. The Space Shuttle did not have a launch escape system, so the astronauts aboard Challenger were unable to eject.
2.Fire broke out 48 seconds before blastoff, saved by emergency rescue system
On September 26, 1983, a Soyuz-U rocket carrying a Soyuz T-10-1 spacecraft blasted off 48 seconds early. Gennady Strekalov and cosmonaut Vladimir Titov, who were to visit the Salyut space station, were involved. In this emergency situation, the rescue system worked and extracted the descent capsule crew from the rocket. During this, the crew received forces of up to 18g, but they survived.
3.Malfunction occurred about 2 minutes after lift off, crew escape system saved
On October 11, 2018, the Soyuz MS-10 rocket was carrying cosmonaut Alexei Ovchinin of Russia’s space agency Roscosmos and astronaut Nick Hague of America’s space agency NASA to the International Space Station. The booster experienced some problems during first stage separation, about two minutes after liftoff. In emergency situations, the astronauts returned to Earth when the crew escape system was activated.
Now know about Gaganyaan Mission
Three astronauts will go 400 km above in Gaganyaan mission
A crew of 3 will be sent in “Gaganyaan” to orbit 400 kilometers above the Earth for a 3-day mission. The crew module will then land safely in the sea. India will become the fourth country if it can achieve this। America, China, and Russia have previously done this।
- On April 12, 1961, Yuri Gagarin (Soviet Russia) remained in space for 108 minutes.
- On May 5, 1961, America’s Alan Shepherd spent 15 minutes in space.
- On October 15, 2003, China’s Yang Li lived in space for 21 hours.
Astronaut training in the training facility established in Bengaluru
ISRO is training four astronauts in this mission. The Astronaut Training Facility established in Bengaluru provides classroom education, physical fitness education, simulator education and flight suit education.
In 2018, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had announced the Gaganyaan Mission.
In 2018, Prime Minister Modi had announced the Gaganyaan Mission in his Independence Day speech. The target was to complete the mission by 2022. Due to the Covid pandemic, however, it got delayed. It is currently expected to be completed by late 2024 or early 2025. The Gaganyaan Mission has been given a budget of approximately Rs 90.23 billion.
